Description
With most items in Jamf Pro, a Smart Group or Advanced Search can be created to view the status of the items completion. Policies do not have a Smart Group criteria, but completion status can be tracked using one of the options below:
Individual Policy Logs
Policy Status Overview
Jamf Pro Dashboard
This article provides more information on each of these methods. Keep in mind that policies with scripts that restart devices will not report completed.
Tracking Your Policy Competition Status
A. Viewing the Individual Policy Logs
This method provides the information below:
List of computers that have run the policy
Date/time the policy ran
Status of the execution
Detailed actions logged
Steps:
In Jamf Pro navigate to Computers > Policies.
Select the policy in question and click Logs in the bottom-right corner.
This will bring up a list of devices with a pending, completed, failed status.
To view the policy log for a specific computer, click Details.
B. Policy Status Overview
This method provides the completion information below:
Number of computers that completed the policy
Number of failed attempts
Number of remaining computers
Steps:
In Jamf Pro navigate to Computers > Policies.
Click Grid View, in the top-right corner next to New.
This will display a graph with completion data for each policy configured, organized by assigned category.
C. Dashboard Monitoring
This option is beneficial for ongoing monitoring of specific policies, rather than viewing all policies. It shows completed, pending, retrying, and failed deployment attempts in real-time.
Steps:
In Jamf Pro, go to Computers > Policies and select the policy in question.
Check the Show in Jamf Pro Dashboard checkbox in the upper-right corner.
To view the dashboard, click the Jamf Pro emblem in the upper-left corner.
