Is it possible to check multiple hostname last reported time in group by just pasting the hostname from the excel sheet?

I want to check last reporting time of multiple hostname at once. I don’t want to take custom action. I just want to search multiple hostname. If it’s possible in web reports then also it’s acceptable. Or any type of Ad-Hoc group in which i just paste the multiple hostnames.

Is there any script in web report that just retrieve the last reporting time by just editing the hostname/machine name.

There’s not a built-in way to do this, other than to send an empty Action, paste the computer list into the Target Computers area, and view the Targeted Computers as an ad-hoc group.

I did build a Console Dashboard to do this though, and just uploaded it to bigfix.me at https://bigfix.me/dashboard/details/139 if you would like to give that a try.

I think there must be some script in bigfix which retrive the properties/information from the web report.

Sure, just nothing built-in. You could build a Custom Report with an HTML input box to paste in computer names, and then execute a session relevance query to retrieve them, but you’ll need to do all the property lookup, table creation, and output dynamically in JavaScript.

Okay thanx I dont know much scripting. I can use export to CSV method to do it. Its hard for me to build a custom report. Thank you so much for your help

I’m not sure where or if there is still a downloadable source but the AdHocCompurtergroup Wizard could be of help. Its an OJO that you can load up then paste in a list of computer names to then open up all those computers as a adhoc group.

EDIT: I’ve uploaded the copy I have to Bigfix.me at https://bigfix.me/dashboard/details/140
