Application Usage Logs


Forum|alt.badge.img+7

When I look at the Application Usage Logs of any computer in our inventory, all I see are vast periods of time that are marked as Idle. I made sure that the setting to Enable application usage monitoring is checked (I even unchecked, saved and rechecked), but I still get nothing.
Are there any logs I can look at to try to diagnose this or any other settings I should be checking?

Thanks for your help!

How long ago did you turn on the setting? If it was just in the last day its possible what you're seeing is just a small part of a day represented in the initial log upload.
If you've had it on for a while now and still not getting anything, then something isn't getting captured properly.

The setting had been turned on since I created my server back in August and I have no data about app usage at all.
I likewise suspect that somehow the data is not being properly captured but I don't know how to troubleshoot this.

I've had application usage enabled since April and I still see some machines without usage logs. Whats the best way to troubleshoot this? (JSS 8.62)

I'm seeing the same kind of behavior on some of my clients...just long periods of days where the daily inventory update just reports "Idle".

What I *think* fixes this is a restart of the system (still testing). Any ideas for narrowing down what's going on with affected client machines?

If you run sudo jamf recon -verbose on the affected machines is their anything in the logs?
Speedgrade CS6 has been known to cause issues with the recon report.

We don't have Speedgrade CS6 on any of our machines.
