Investigation with packages with Finder (classic)
Nexthink simplified investigations that retrieve packages or include a condition on packages. The results take into account only those packages that are effectively installed, discarding uninstalled packages.
Nevertheless, it is still possible to find installations or uninstallations of packages by directly querying the installation events.
The following tables summarize the typical uses of investigations related to packages. Download all the investigations and import them into Finder to try them out.
Retrieving devices
| Investigation name | Condition | Aggregate condition |
|---|---|---|
Devices with a specific package | Package Name is "abc" | - |
Devices without a specific package | Package Name is "abc" | Number of packages = 0 |
Devices with two specific packages | Package Name is "abc", publisher is "ABC", version is "123", type "program" or Package Name is "xyz", publisher is "XYZ", version is "789", type "program" NOTE: A package is uniquely identified by its name, publisher, version and type. | Number of packages = 2 |
