I just want to be able to get a listing at a moment’s notice of which applications are installed on a given machine. Seems that it would be easy enough, using the check_snmp plugin, to write a wrapper program that will notify me via e-mail should a given application be installed on someone’s machine, or if a given application was removed from a machine. But I’d really like to get a listing of all of the installed apps. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I currently use SNMP w/Nagios to get a listing of all running applications (everything that gets listed in the task manager) and services on a given machine, and I’d like to have similar functionality with installed programs.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> All advice is appreciated.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thank you,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> ---<o:p></o:p> Matt Lozier<o:p></o:p> IT Analyst<o:p></o:p> 972.644.2581, ext. 248<o:p></o:p> 972.661.2701 fax<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <a href="http://www.spindletopoil.com/"><img border=0 width=145 height=73 id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.jpg@01C817E5.BCBB4BC0"></a><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The information contained in this message or any attached document is confidential and intended only for the individual(s) or entity to which it is addressed.

Are you looking to make sure certain things are installed or trying to make sure that nothing outside of certain things get installed? I think that more information is needed in order to discern what is best for you.</tt><o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
