I know this feature request is out there about 100x and I have yet to see a script that does it. Most of these logs are available via the API. So I wrote a script that will let you input either a single serial number, or a CSV of serial numbers and then output a CSV with header for any of the following logs -

Screen Sharing Logs
Jamf Remote Logs
Computer Usage
Policy Logs
Completed MDM Commands

I only included those because they all leveraged the same API endpoint and it made scripting it easier. If you're handy with scripts, I'm sure you could build off this quite easliy.

I'm not a scripter - so I'm sure this isn't perfect. Use at your own risk, just posting it since it seems some people would benefit from it. Since it's 1 API call per device, it'll chew up some server resources, I wouldn't run it during peak hours if you have 10,000 devices.

I'm sure I'll miss linking this on a variety of feature requests, so feel free to link it on any that I missed.

Aaron,

I am new to API's but I am trying to learn them. How do you run this script? Do you put this as a script into the Jamf Web interface or use another program to make these calls to the API?

@entrata One way to run this script is by saving it as an executable file (.sh) in TextEdit and then executing it in Terminal:

Open TextEdit, then copy past the script:

In the TextEdit menu click Format > Make Plain Text > Ok. Then click File > Save, and save it as a '.sh' file such as: logexporter.sh
Open Terminal and type in (without entering):

sudo sh

Then drag and drop the .sh file you just saved, from Finder into the Terminal window, and you should see the path added for you:

sudo sh /Users/username/Documents/Scripts/logexporter.sh

Hit Enter and the script should run and prompt you in Terminal

@aaron.hodgson Thanks for sharing this script. It looks like almost exactly what we need.

I'm curious if you have discovered a way to extract the actions logged for a policy. We need to capture the detail of a specific policy running, not just the fact that it "Completed" or "Failed". I can see the actions in the GUI when I click on "Show", but I can't find a way using the API to return that additional information.

Is this possible at all?

Thanks!

Hi @aaron.hodgson,

Thanks for writing this script, really helpful.. do you know if it's possible to get it to show the results of a script that has been run?

For example, we have a script to check if a user is signed in to iCloud, it's great that I can see it has run, but it would be great if it could show the result as well.

Thanks!

Matt

What permissions does the API user require? Also, this fails for me every time stating the account is not valid. I'm on Jamf Pro Cloud 10.26.

Thank you to Google I found this script, it seems to hang when entering my API password, does anyone have a more recent script to try, Thanks !
