Search the scripting logs

Search the scripting logs

You can search for text strings in the scripting logs. If the organization component is enabled on your appliance, you search scripting logs for each organization separately.

When scripts run on managed devices, logs are created and uploaded to the appliance. You can search for text strings in the scripting logs, and apply labels to devices whose logs match the search text. You can then run actions on the labeled devices as needed.

1.
Go to the Search Scripting Logs page.
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Search Scripting Logs.
2.
In the Search for field, enter the search criteria or text string you want to find. Text strings must be at least four characters in length. Searches with shorter text strings result in zero matches.

Use the following operators when entering search criteria:

Operator

Function

+

Use a leading plus sign to find entries that include the text.

-

Use a leading minus sign to find entries that do not include the text.

*

Use a trailing asterisk to find logs that contain words that begin with the specified characters.

"

Enclose text in double quotes to find exact matches for the phrase.

3.
Select search criteria:

Option

Description

All uploaded logs

Search all available scripting logs. If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, the search searches all logs for the selected organization.

* 
NOTE: Scripting logs are deleted during appliance upgrades. If the appliance has been upgraded, logs that were uploaded before the upgrade are no longer available.

Last uploaded logs

Search the most recent scripting logs. If the Organization component is enabled on the appliance, the search searches all logs for the selected organization.

Script

Search logs related to all scripts, or search only the specified script.

Log

Search all logs, or search only the specified log.

Label

Search for logs uploaded by all devices, or search for logs uploaded by devices associated with the specified label.

4.
Click Search.
The search results display the logs and the devices that have uploaded those logs.
5.
To apply a label to the devices that are displayed, select a label in the drop-down list under the search results.

Exporting scripts

Exporting scripts

If you have multiple organizations or appliances, you can export scripts and transfer them among organizations and appliances as needed.

Managing Mac profiles

Managing Mac profiles

Tracking changes to Mac profile settings
Adding, editing, and uploading Mac profiles
Installing and managing Mac profiles
Removing and deleting Mac profiles

You can use the appliance to distribute Mac profiles to Agent-managed devices. Mac profiles contain payloads, or configuration settings, for user-level and system-level policies.

Distributing Mac profiles using the appliance is an efficient way to configure settings on the Mac devices you manage, and it provides an alternative to configuring and distributing profiles using OS X Server.

You can configure user- and system-level Mac profile payloads, or configuration settings, in the appliance Administrator Console. In addition, you can create custom payloads using the Apple Profile Manager, download the MOBILECONFIG file that contains those payloads, and upload that file to the appliance for distribution.

For more information about Mac profiles, go to http://help.apple.com/profilemanager/mac/4.0.

How the KACE Agent distributes profiles

When you add or upload a new Mac profile, the appliance creates the Online KScript required to install or remove the profile from devices. Like other Online KScripts, scripts that contain Mac profiles run when the KACE Agent is connected to the target device according to the schedule and deployment options specified in the profile.

Tracking changes to Mac profile settings

Tracking changes to Mac profile settings

If History subscriptions are configured to retain information, you can view the details of the changes made to settings, assets, and objects. This information includes the date the change was made and the user who made the change, which can be useful during troubleshooting.

See About history settings.
