Email alert for new software installed
Dear,
Is there any way to trigger an email alert when new software (treat 3, uncategorized) is installed? You can add them to a label, but the only way i see is to make email alerts for computers.
My thought was like this:
- I create a label that filters on treath level.
- If treath level is 3 then add to label "uncategorized software"
- When any software has the label "uncategorized software" send mail.
Is this possible or if it isn't, will this be a function in the future?
Thnx in advance

Do you really care about the moment it is installed? or do you care about all software that meets the criteria of threat 3 & uncategorized?
If you care about the moment (or close to it) that it's installed then you will need the asset module to write a query against asset history. (http://www.kace.com/support/customer/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=9&id=654&artlang=en)
If you only care about all installed software that is in this state then we don't need to worry about asset history and a computer alert is what you want, since you want it to be evaluated against computer inventory after all.
Do you really want a real-time alert? To take immediate action? Or just a scheduled report? You could use reporting to do this.

You can make schedule report for that, and query "asset change history" only for software change.

I am using the script now provided by Gillyspy. Works like a charm! Altough i had to change some things to get it working in my situation.
Here is my script in working condition:
Basically i added that it should exclude our own domain and that it should exclude installations of teamviewer since that is supported by us.
Thanks for the quick response!

Here is my script in working condition:
select TIME, ASSET.NAME as MACHINE_NAME, DESCRIPTION
from ASSET_HISTORY, ASSET, MACHINE
WHERE DESCRIPTION LIKE '%Found Software%' AND ASSET_HISTORY.TIME > DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 1 DAY)
and ASSET_ID=ASSET.ID AND ASSET.NAME=MACHINE.NAME and MACHINE.USER_DOMAIN != 'SERVICENET'
and description not like '%TEAMVIEWER%'Basically i added that it should exclude our own domain and that it should exclude installations of teamviewer since that is supported by us.
Thanks for the quick response!
