Smart Group update times

[#1]

Hey All-

Does anyone know how long it takes smart groups to update their membership? I have created one based on a dummy package and when I install it on a machine and then update recon it doesn't seem to be added to the group. I've just done it and left it sit for about 4 hours and still no update.

Any Thoughts?

Smart groups should update anytime an inventory cycle or other change to trigger it happens.

There are some known problems where Smart Groups don't update properly. You should open the Smart Group and then save it and see if the computer
gets added.

Jamf told me they will fix it in 6.1.

What, you mean like this? =) Granted, I've got some other really funky stuff going on right now with the JSS...

Well I've got a smart group to tell me when hard drives are filling up, criteria is "Hard Drive" is more than "90%". This one works fine. But the one where the criteria is the dummy package receipt requires me to 'resave' the smart group before it finds the new computers.
