Extension Attribute/Scripting Help (deploying Digital Guardian DLP software)

Seems like you should be able to do:

dgagent/dgctl --version | head -n1 | awk '{print $10}'

Assuming the result is always output that way.

Thank you @iJake for the suggestion! Unfortunately no luck and same results... It is almost as if Verdasys (Digital Guardian developer) follows some kind of non-standard output method that is unable to be manipulated and is not clear text. I'll keep trying different stuff and see what the vendor says. Thanks again.

Yes, that did it! Thanks, should have thought of that! Appreciate the help!

Glad to help!

If your interested I can share a nice bundle of DG related EAs I have created to assist in its management and deployment. I am in the process of updating and posting my github, so you can either wait or reply this post and I will provide via other means.

@ShadowGT Your DG-related EAs would be appreciated.

I will be posting more as it scrub and get clearance, but here are the basic ones. I hope it helps:

Just saw this, here's the script I have to check the version after working with DG a few years ago.

/dgagent/dgctl --version 2>&1 | grep Mac | awk '{ print $NF}'

which I threw into an EA

#!/bin/sh

DGA=$(/dgagent/dgctl --version 2>&1 | grep Mac | awk '{ print $NF}')

if [[ -z $DGA ]] ; then
  echo "<result>Not Installed</result>"
else
  echo "<result>$DGA</result>"
fi

My only suggestion is using

awk '{ print $NF}'`

over

awk '{print $10}'

In the off chance that that response isn't the 10th string in the future, where as $NF prints the last string. As a side note, I have the unique pleasure distinction luck pain of being the first Mac DG deployment (so they say). It was really bad early going, when they'd just throw code to us untested for us to "work" with.
