Configuration Profiles - Which machines were unsuccessful ? - Errors ?

[rcorbin]

Maybe this is actually a feature request, but maybe there is a way to do this and I just don't know about it.

When you run a policy it is real easy to look at the logs and see if it was unsuccessful on certain machines. If you have a configuration profile that you have scoped out to a number of machines it will show you in the dashboard exactly where it is at. It will say how many have completed, how many to go, and there often might be a red slice in that pie that says there were errors on 8 machines. On a policy you can easily find out what 8 machines the errors were on. For a configuration profile is there a way to figure out what machines the errors occurred on so you can go and correct the issue. Maybe there is an easy way and I'm just not seeing it.

I couldn't find one, and think there is a feature request someplace : )

I had to create a smart group based on missing EAs that are checking for profiles and then go through that list manually

support helped us create EA's as well. It seemed crazy to me at the time that on the dashboard it reports how many errors there were but there's no way to more easily view that error data.

Just put in my votes.

@CasperSally and @gachowski would you mind sharing those EA's? We are having issues with profiles and I would like to get an idea of how many Macs we are truly seeing this issue on.

Shane,

I used this as a starting point :) you have to name match :)

Check it out - Version 9.65 has enhanced Configuration Profile logging for OS X and iOS. These features are available on the dashboard and in the list of configuration profiles under the Computers and Mobile Devices tabs respectively. They are also aggregated into the new Event Logs area which is accessible by going into the JSS Settings > Global Management > Event Logs. Let us know if this enhancement meets all the needs!

I just shove the entire list of installed profiles into an EA and then scope off of that with "like" queries (easy to do because we only install profiles at the computer level):

#!/bin/sh
confProfiles=`/usr/bin/profiles -C`
echo "<result>$confProfiles</result>"

"They are also aggregated into the new Event Logs area which is accessible by going into the JSS Settings > Global Management > Event Logs"

Well this is odd, i do not see this in my JSS. There is no event logs icon on my global management screen
