Application Persistence Events report

The Application Persistence Events report applies only to devices running a supported version of the Windows operating system. In addition, an Application Persistence policy needs to be activated on each Windows device.

To view content in the Application Persistence Events report, one of the following options needs to be selected in the policy configuration for one or more Application Persistence policies:

• Report and repair
• Report, repair and reinstall

By default, the following filters are used to generate this report:

The information collected from each device is organized in the following default columns:

• Device name, which includes the device's device name The name assigned to the device in the operating system. For Chromebooks, device name is not applicable and therefore shows as "Chrome" in the Absolute console. and serial number The identification number assigned to the device by the device manufacturer. For Windows devices, this value may correspond to the serial number of the BIOS, the motherboard, or the chassis, depending on the manufacturer.
• Last connected The date and time when a device's Absolute agent last checked in to the Absolute Monitoring Center.
• Username Username of the user who was logged in to the device when an agent connection occurred. If no user was logged in during the most recent agent connection, the last detected username shows. If you are viewing a report and want to see if a user was logged in during the most recent connection, add the Current Username column to the report. If no user was logged in at the time of the connection, "No Data" or two em dashes (— —) show in the column.
• The following information about repair and reinstall events:

  Column	Details
  Application Persistence > Events last 30 days	The total number of repairs and reinstallations attempted on the device, for all persisted applications, over the last 30 days For any device, click the value in this column to open a dialog that separates the total event count into total attempted repairs and total attempted reinstallations.
  BitLocker > Events last 30 days	The total number of repairs and reinstallations attempted on the device over the last 30 days for the specified application For any device, click the value in this column to open a dialog that separates the total event count into total repairs and total reinstallations.
  SCCM > Events last 30 days

NOTE  To view repair and reinstall event information for other applications, add the application's Events last 30 days column to the report.

NOTE  If your Application Persistence policies are configured with the Report and repair option only, you may still see counts in the Reinstalls Last 30 Days columns. These counts may occur if the Absolute agent was able to reinstall the application from a cached installer. The Report, repair and reinstall option adds the ability to download the installer if it's not found on the device.

To view additional information about the status of a persisted application, click > Edit Columns and add one or more of the following columns associated with the application:

• Repairs last 30 Days
• Reinstalls last 30 Days
• Failures last 30 Days
• Became healthy
• Became unhealthy
• Last updated
• Repair status
• Status
• Status checked
• Status details

For example, to see if any WinMagic SecureDoc clients were repaired during the most recent status check, add the WinMagic SecureDoc > Repair status column to the report. If desired, you can then save your changes by creating a new report.

By default, the report data is sorted by the Events last 30 days column, in descending order. You can change the sort order by clicking a column heading.
