Write Worklet result (winget update check) into Custom Field of device

Hi guys!

We are testing Automox and are very impressed of its capabilities. 

 

I already deployed winget successfully using Automox to our Windows machines. 

Now I am looking for a way to store the result of our worklet to check for winget updates into a field of the device (the “notes” field?). Or can we create an own field and put it in there?

This way I can see the winget status directly in the device.

 

What do you suggest how to realize this?

 

Looking forward for your ideas.

Hi Chris,
Something like this would take some comprehensive API scripting, and to implement something right now without any effort, we can utilize the Activity Log to pull a list of pending updates which is only a single extra click to view. 

With the Worklet put together, set it to run on a schedule (where the eval code can act as a trigger if you would like).
 

Remediation code snippet

Each time the Remediation code runs it grabs a list and stores it in the Activity Log, accessed by the button directly on the device details page:
 

Click ‘Activity Log’ on the right
Expand results to view pending updates.

There will be some crossover in many cases due to our extensive third party catalog coverage.

Regards,
