What is the proper SQL to create a report that only shows missing patches using the GROUP_CONCAT

I have the following SQL in place that is working.

SELECT M.NAME AS MACHINE_NAME,

OS_NAME AS WINDOWS_VERSION,

GROUP_CONCAT(PP.TITLE) AS PATCH_NAME,

SUM(MS.DETECT_STATUS = 'PATCHED') AS PATCHED,

SUM(MS.DETECT_STATUS = 'NOTPATCHED') AS NOTPATCHED,

FLOOR(ROUND((SUM(MS.DETECT_STATUS = 'PATCHED') / (SUM(MS.DETECT_STATUS = 'PATCHED') + SUM(MS.DETECT_STATUS = 'NOTPATCHED'))) * 100,1)) AS PERCENT_PATCHED

FROM PATCH_MACHINE_STATUS MS

JOIN KBSYS.PATCH PP ON (PP.ID = MS.PATCH_ID)

JOIN PATCH_STATUS PPS ON (PPS.PATCH_ID = PP.ID)

JOIN MACHINE M ON (M.ID = MS.MACHINE_ID)

JOIN KBSYS.SMMP_CONNECTION SC ON (M.KUID = SC.KUID)

JOIN MACHINE_LABEL_JT on MACHINE_LABEL_JT.MACHINE_ID = M.ID

JOIN LABEL on LABEL.ID = MACHINE_LABEL_JT.LABEL_ID

WHERE PPS.STATUS = 0

AND PP.IS_SUPERCEDED = 0

AND PPS.IS_SUPERCEDED = 0

AND MS.PATCH_APPLICABLE = 1

AND PP.CREATION_DATE between '2020-01-01' and '2020-12-31'

GROUP BY MS.MACHINE_ID

ORDER BY PERCENT_PATCHED , M.NAME


However I only want to Patch Name column to only show missing patches not all patches.

I ended up re-writing the query to simplify it and resolve an issue where it was counting needed patches inaccurately:

SELECT M.NAME, OS_NAME,
SUM(MS.PATCH_INSTALLED) as 'Installed',
SUM(MS.PATCH_APPLICABLE) as 'Needed',
GROUP_CONCAT(IF(DETECT_STATUS = 'NOTPATCHED', TITLE, null)) AS 'Needed Patches',
FLOOR(ROUND((SUM(PATCH_INSTALLED) / COUNT(MS.PATCH_ID)) * 100,1)) AS PERCENT_PATCHED
FROM ORG1.PATCH_MACHINE_STATUS MS
JOIN KBSYS.PATCH PP ON (PP.ID = MS.PATCH_ID)
JOIN PATCH_STATUS PPS ON (PPS.PATCH_ID = PP.ID)
JOIN MACHINE M ON (M.ID = MS.MACHINE_ID)
WHERE
PPS.STATUS = 0
AND PPS.IS_SUPERCEDED = 0
AND YEAR(PP.CREATION_DATE) = YEAR(NOW())
GROUP BY M.ID
ORDER BY M.NAME

Some notes on the changes:

  • I'm using the PATCH_INSTALLED and PATCH_APPLICABLE columns instead of conditional sums. In my testing those columns equate to the patch being installed or not installed.
  • The conditional group_concat is the answer to your original question.
  • I simplified the percent patched column.
  • I removed joins you weren't using in your query. If you want to limit this by label those two tables will need to be added again.
  • You were checking if the patch is superceded in both the global (KBSYS) and organization tables. I removed the KBSYS check to make the query organization specific and non-redundant.
  • I changed the criteria for the patch creation date to be relative instead of hard coded to 2020.

Let me know if that works for you.

  • Hello... thx for the query, but if is possible to use the "Patch Label" instead of all patches that are missing? Thanks in advance! - benrras 4 years ago
