Patch Failure Report

To help identify typically problematic patches, the Patch Failure Report tracks all failures, even those where the installation was eventually successful. In addition to the device identification information, the Report contains the Time, Patch name, Failure Status along with the original Failure Reason. Please be aware that this information is only available for devices running Windows Monitoring Agent 10.2.0 or later.

The Columns drop-down is used to refine the Report and provide more targeted information. After clicking Columns enable or disable the tick-box against the required column options. The Columns button also indicates the total number of columns available and the number selected.

Report Export Options

After the Report is generated, two export options become available above the main window:

  • CSV Export: saves all of the filtered information (including any hidden columns) as a CSV file
  • Print: prints the current report view as is (this excludes any hidden columns). The available print options depend on the configuration of the device the Report is viewed on.
