FAQ​

Q1) What happens if the machine hasn't logged in for several days, or if the interval of the Script - Get Latest Installed Cumulative Update is different from the lastruntime check in the table "Custom Table - pvl_win_latest_installed_cu"?

Ans) This monitor will ignore agents whose last contact date is older than 7 days from monitoring. It will also exclude agents where the Script - Get Latest Installed Cumulative Update has not run within the scheduled days period, which should match the p.scriptruntime set in the monitor.
