When you deploy software update plans with managed software updates, it is important to maintain visibility over the progress of the update and the various events that are taking place on the computer or mobile device. After you deploy a plan with managed software updates, you can view and track these events by viewing the event store. You can only view the event store for computers or mobile devices that have received an update command from managed software updates. For more information on deploying software update plans with managed software updates, see Managed Software Updates in the Jamf Pro Documentation.

Note:

The managed software updates event store is only available for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS devices.

  2. Enter one or more search terms and press the Enter key or click Search to find all computers or mobile devices.
  3. Click the computer or mobile device you want to view software update information for.
  4. Click the Management tab, and then click the Operating System category.
