As February is drawing to a close I thought I'd review the progress made this month on a few projects and report on some checks to be done.
First, let's look back at what I set to do in February [1]. I am almost there :D:
- A wrap-up for aila2-version 1 containing a couple of installation files and the toolkit in a single zip --> _DONE_
- A gauge control for Patch Compliance Trending to provide global compliance status at a glance --> _DONE_
- A toolkit to link multiple Patch Trending sites to provide a global view for large environments <-- _NOT_DONE_
- A Managed Delivery execution reporting toolkit, to display software execution over time --> _DONE_
I am also still working on the aila2 new features [2], with http return code stats done, hit count per IP Address done (not in the original plan, but needed). I still need to make good on the filtering additions, and I would like to add detailed account for TaskManagement and InventoryRuleManagement.
Finally, I have add a few messages exchanged with phoward74 who's having some issues using Patch Trending on 7.5.
The tool in itself is working fine from the CLI (using an elevated prompt) however it doesn't manage to find the trending table when running from the server via task or via the agent itself!
So I need to verify if the trending toolkit can work for 7.5 (the tool in itself is okay, but the SMP integrations have to be validated again).
