Windows Updates - can we ignore the last X days

[Martin Stevnhoved]

Hi MMSOFT,

 

Pulseway can already send us a notification "when critical or important updates are available".

But we would like to be able to specify a time period in days, before we get a notification

 

We have an other mecanism/script that installs Windows updates, but we would like to use the pulseway notication as fallback. 

So basicly we would like to enter a number of days, so the the search for available updates ignores updates released within the last X days.

 

At the same time it would be nice to change the Windows update search criteria string

 

Defaults could be someting like:

 

• string: IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0
• days: 14

 

Any thoughts about this?

 

 

Best Regards,

Martin Stevnhoved

What do you think?

What are your best practice for scheduling Window Updates on multiple servers, and monitoring that updates are not missing by Pulseway?

Am I the only one asking for something like this?

Thank you for your feedback. I've noted your request on our todo list, it will be considered by the development team for a future release.

You are not alone. This was discussed at least once before here: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/1264-alerts-windows-update/?hl=%2Bwindows+%2Bupdates.

Hey Martin,

You are not the only one looking for this and this feature just might come in when we're adding support for 3-rd party patch management next year.

And this came 3 years after it was first brought up. Just how far behind the times is Pulseway?

3rd party patching is queued for Q2 2019 (wohoo ):

Hi @Paul

I cannot find this notification setting, after 3rd part patching now has been released.

Br, Martin.
