Sophos Log Writer - Finding out of date machines

maps443

I am looking to use the Sophos Log Writer and Splunk to alert our support teams to machines that are not “up to date” so they can be investigated.

I know how to edit the SophosLogWriterConfig.xml to call different data sources, but can’’’’t see a .config file that contains the “Up to Date” or “Last Message Received” information.

Is this possible with the Log Writer? I can see references to a ComputerControl.config file in other community posts, but I don’’’’t seem to have this.

Ultimately, we just want to identify any machines that may have a client issue, so happy to use another field if there is something more appropriate?

Thanks for any advice!

    Just to add that Sophos have confirmed this is not possible.

    A feature request has been raised for the Log Writer (though it would probably have been better to ask for a built-in "out of date" report), but a potential solution would be the Reporting Interface with some kind of DB query tool.

    Does anyone use any free tools for this? I know Crystal Reports is a paid option.
