Hello Anyone,
I am trying to discover the list of installed software along with systems installed updates packages. I have been successful in getting the list of installed software (basically everything that i see under add/remove programs) but i am unable to get a list of any packages/hotfixes/ installed windows updates.
Following is what i have done,
- Discovery properties options:
Discover Software packages option ( checked)
Windows Software filter option ( unchecked) to avoid filtering
- Ran discovery successfully and i was able to discover the list of software installed on the system - (that showed up under programs and features)
What i need help on :
I want to include installed updates as well, which include information regarding hot fixes and package updates as show below but can see to find a way to get that info.
Along with the discovery properties changes listed above, i have also included the registry path where these package KB information resides in the Windows -software installed Probe
But i still cant see that information flowing through. Has anyone come across that issue, or has any input regarding how this can be resolved?
Thanks,
Sheikh
Hi Sheikh,
Just make sure you have marked discovering updates/patches as include in the discovery configuration console.

Based on the impact hit like helpful or correct
Thanks Vivek for the reply - i took out the keys for hot-fixes and patches that you suggested as shown below
But even then its the same results.
Someone told me that i need a custom sensor to capture the below listed probe change and i am not sure what should be in the custom sensor as i am not a javascript guy. Any thoughts on that ? or have you tried to capture packages and hotfixes on your end and have the worked?
Thanks,
Sheikh
