Is there a way of getting a list of plugins which require an update in LIST view?

[Chaz_]

Hi,

I am hoping to have some sort of alert which can alert me when a plugin is available for an update. I know that this can be viewed from the plugins page, but this UI means that you have to visit this page manually.

Is there a list view of the same page which shows which plugins require an update? I am hoping to build a scheduled report to alert me when there are updates available? Or is there some better way of tracking when updates to plugins are available?

Thanks.

Thanks for the code!  It worked like a charm.

I added a few lines to add fields from the app to the scan_finding record to make it easier to use.

(function (engine) {

	// Define variables
	var table_name = 'sys_store_app',
		encoded_query = 'active=true';

	// Query record
	var grRecord = new GlideRecord(table_name);
	grRecord.addEncodedQuery(encoded_query);
	grRecord._query();

	// Create scan finding
	while(grRecord._next()) {
		if(grRecord.version != grRecord.latest_version) {
			engine.finding.setCurrentSource(grRecord);
			engine.finding.increment();
			
			// add info to the 'finding_details' field of the [scan_finding] record
			var appName = grRecord.name;
			var appID = grRecord.scope;
			var currentVersion = grRecord.version;
			var latestVersion = grRecord.latest_version;
			var findingRecord = engine.finding;
			findingRecord.setValue('finding_details', "Name: " + appName + "\nID: " + appID + "\nCurrent version: " + currentVersion + "\nLatest version: " + latestVersion);
		}
	}

})(engine);
