Apple Client Health Dashboard

Description

FileWave is immensely powerful, but can be daunting when it comes to stitching the various components of a complex workflow together.  Content packs are meant to give you a leg-up in creating distributable content and are also a great way to learn by example!  Each content pack is meant to be a "whole solution", putting together all of the pieces of FileWave to accomplish a goal.

This FileWave Content Pack is built to do extensive reporting on the health of managed Apple MDM clients and is comprised of all of the contents listed below:

What You Get in this Content Pack

This content pack provides:

Custom Fields:

"Custom Fields" are a terrific way to extend the "inventory attributes" of your devices.  In this content pack we have included:

• • • Apple MDM APNs Topic: The Apple Push Notification Topic that the devices have. Note that this should only show 1 value unless you have ever accidentally or purposefully changed the APNS certificate to a different Topic.
    • Apple MDM Server Address: The FileWave server that the device believes it is enrolled to.

Reports (aka Inventory Queries):

Reports are a great way of measuring the effectiveness of distributing content, and can be used for all sorts of compliance purposes as well.  Trust, but verify is what reports are all about.  In this pack we have included the following  reports:

• • • IQ_Apple_MDM_All_Devices: Reports on
      
    • IQ_Apple_MDM_iOS: Reports on
    • IQ_Apple_MDM_Last_Connected_1W_1M: Reports on
    • IQ_Apple_MDM_Last_Connected_1W: Reports on
    • IQ_Apple_MDM_Last_Connected_gt_1M: Reports on
    • IQ_Apple_MDM_macOS: Reports on

Dashboards:

Dashboards build upon reports and are an incredibly powerful tool for showing aggregated data in charts and graphs.  This pack provides the following dashboard(s):

• • • Apple MDM: This dashboard shows you almost everything you'll ever want to know about Apple devices in your environment and is built from all of the custom fields and reports from above.  And, it is fully customizable, so if the dashboard is missing something, you can easily add it!
