Patch Compliance

See every Patch Management software title in Jamf Pro, and how many Macs are on the latest version of each. Read-only.

How to use it

  1. Connect to Jamf Pro and click Connect →. The tool checks it can read Patch Management. Then click Continue → (or Proceed Anyway →) to scan.
  2. The tool reads every patch software title, then the patch report for each one.

If Patch Management isn't set up, you see No patch titles found with Patch Management may not be configured on this Jamf Pro instance.

Results

The list shows each software title with:

Column Meaning
Latest The latest version Jamf Pro knows about
Compliance Macs on the latest version, as a share of Macs that reported a version
Outdated Macs on any older version
Not Reporting Macs that are in the title's report but didn't report a version. They're left out of the compliance rate

The total number of outdated device instances, across every title, is shown at the top. A Mac with three outdated apps counts three times.

Sort by compliance (on by default) lists the least compliant titles first. Turn it off to sort by name. Type in Filter… to search.

Click a title to open its Version Breakdown: every version reported, with the number of Macs on each, and the latest version highlighted. Back to List returns to all titles.

Tips

  • A title can't be more accurate than its patch definitions. If Latest looks out of date, check the title's patch source in Jamf Pro.
  • To act on outdated Macs, use a patch policy in Jamf Pro, or Command to send Download & Install Updates for macOS itself.
