Filtering computer view based on Last Updated

(imported topic written by Moonscope91)

I have a need to configure a view that shows the computers that have reported in over the last 90 days. This also needs to include the computer information that has been captured. I am currently copying this data from the computer view and pasting into an excel document to get a current computer count.

I was thinking of creating a computer group to achieve this goal however this doesn’t work as the filter cant count 90 days, it only allows is exact, isnt exact, contains and doesnt contain.

Is there a way i can achieve this without running a report? I just want it in a computer like view e.g. the view you get when you double click on a computer group and select the reported computers tab.

Cheers for any help in advance.

Hi moonscope,

A report is definitely the preferred approach here (properties report with a filter).

A computer group won’t work because the agents report their group relevance and clearly they can’t report that they haven’t reported…

This may be close to what you want:

  • Open the health checks dashboard
  • Look at the “expired computers” check
  • Click the button to give ou a list of computers that haven’t reported in 30 days

Thanks for your help Ben, doing a cleanup before collecting the data may be the best method.

Cheers,

Hi Ben,

But could we create a group based on who did report, and then another based on clients that are not a member of the previous group?

Thanks,

Bob.

Hey bob,

You can’t create groups based on report time because groups are determined at the agent level… You can create filters or reports (which are determined at the server level) based on last report time though…
