Adding a policy to the Jamf Pro Dashboard helps you monitor its status and progress. For example, you can determine which computers have received software, which have pending installations, and if any policies have failed to deploy and require troubleshooting.

If you configure a policy to assist with the deployment of a security stack (e.g., an antivirus suite or Jamf Protect) to computers, you can track its deployment progress by adding the policy to the Jamf Pro Dashboard. This allows you to view all completed, pending, retrying, and failed deployment attempts for the policy.

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Computers in the sidebar.
  2. Click Policies in the sidebar.
  3. Click the policy you want to add to the Jamf Pro Dashboard.
  4. Select the Show in Jamf Pro Dashboard checkbox.
  5. Click Dashboard in the sidebar.
  6. Navigate to the Policy Statuses area of the Jamf Pro Dashboard and find the widget for the policy you added.
    Click any item in the widget to view more details for analysis or troubleshooting.

Monitor the progress of computers that have been scoped to the policy in both the circular percentage graph and the status categories. Then, use this information to troubleshoot any computers that have Failed, Pending, or Retrying statuses by clicking the status links and reviewing the computers presented.
