Day Light Savings Time Change RHEL servers GLIBC_2.28' not found

Hello.I noticed all of the am agents installed on my RHEL 7/8 servers are offline and will not start back up. Getting the following error across all affected servers: “/opt/amagent/amagent: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /opt/amagent/amagent)"I am wondering if the time change had anything to do with it. If I reinstall the agnet, it works fine, I was wondering if anyone has seen this before and if there’s a better solution. We do have quite a bit of servers. Thank You in advance. Edit: The time marked at disconnection was 2023-03-09 2:04 PM CST So It most likely was not affected by the time change.

Was it Automox, or something else that patched it?

How can I see that the patching of OS-es and Third Party Apps have been Patched by Automox vs Patched by someone or something else?For Example,The MS Office Suite has a ‘auto-updater’ (at least on macOS). I’ve manipulated the .plist of the Autoupdater to enforce updates. Would Automox claim the owner of the Patch even if it was Autoupdater that triggered it?Or, what if if user him/herself would initiate the update for a particular piece of software before Automox could do it, would Automox then still ‘claim’ the credit for the patch unrightfully?

How can you create a script to copy files with Automox?

Hello, I am using Automox agent to copy a test file. The file is called "hello_world.txt" and the location where I can upload it is "c:". Additionally, I have added "Exit 1" to get a response, but I still don't understand how Exit 1 works. My script checks if the file already exists before copying it. If it does not exist, it makes a copy and responds "New file created".Someone help me, because the script don't work?$filename = 'hello_world.txt'$filepath = 'C:\'If (Test-Path -Path $filepath$filename -PathType Leaf) { Copy-Item .\$filename -Destination $filepath Write-Output "File copied and replaced existing" }else { Copy-Item .\$filename -Destination $filepath Write-Output "New file created" }

Evaluation code to check if program is currently running

Hello,I am using an Automox worklet to deploy an internal application to a group of devices.If the program is installed while the previous version is running it could cause unexpected behavior so I need to check if the program is currently running and if running then do not install but wait until the next opportunity.Can I achieve this using the Evaluation Code section?Right now my evaluation code looks something like this:# Check if program is running.$in_use = (Get-Process $program_name -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -ne $Nullif($in_use) { # If running then abort and wait until next patch window. Write-Output "Program is currently running." exit 1}if($installed_version -ne $version){ Write-Output "Version $version will be installed." exit 1}else { Write-Output "Version $version is already installed" exit 0}I’m not sure if my assumption is correct so I would appreciate some clarity on how the evaluation code section worksWill this cause the Remediation Code to wa

Audit logs of user activity using API

Hi,Is there any way to find the info about “which user performed what activity at what time” report, like seeing when which specific user pushed a certain patch or renamed a certain device, or run a certain policy/patch. The “Data Extracts” report is close but it only shows when a patch was pushed, just not how it was initiated (like by a user or by a scheduled policy).Is there any way to extract this information using Automox API?

SCCM Countdown

Hello all, I would like to know if I’m the only one who regrets the fact there is no possibility to have a kind of countdown regarding the final reboot message whenever an update requires it. It would be good for our users to really have, like SCCM did, a countdown, let’s say during the last 30 minutes where he has really no option except think about saving his work and reboot.I already opened a ticket and made some research but it seems that it is, except into SCCM, very tough to implement (at least as an option).Am I the only one who would like to see that in Automox ? Example : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/clients/deploy/media/3976435-1906-final-restart-countdown.png
