How to enable failed patch alerts


Forum|alt.badge.img

Wondering if I can configure automox to send an alert to a specific email address if a patch fails on a server. I was unable to find anything in the knowledge base.

 

For example. If policy A encounters an error on Server B, Automox sends an alert to email@example.com.

Yes, that would be a useful method. That way only the designated email for that user gets the failure notifications, instead of to your own email inbox.

Hi @taylor.jones , you can enable the notifications for failed patches in your User Profile in the Automox console. You can click the 3 dots on the top right corner, select your own name and go directly to the Profile tab. On the right side of the page are a number of checkboxes that let you get notified for a number of events related to devices being added or removed and patch policies succeeding or failing.

Unfortunately, you cannot send it to a specific email at this time, only to yourself as the registered user.

possible to separate all devices that are failing vs only specific devices or groups?
