    Add Jamf Pro Smart Group to a Google Doc Using Zapier

    August 17, 2018

    In this article, we’ll cover how to use Zapier to connect data from your Jamf Account to a Google sheet. Once you build a WebHooks receiver in Zapier, you don’t have to use Google as the third party service that your WebHook triggers. You could use any other service that Zapier integrates as well, including Mailchimp, WordPress, Shopify, Todoist, ZenDesk, SurveyMonkey, Freshdesk, Quickbooks, Basecamp, and about 1,200 other solutions. In other words, you can link a WebHook from Jamf Pro into pretty much any automated service that you can think of! So what’s a WebHook? A WebHook is an HTTP callback, or an HTTP POST that is fired when an event…

    April 2, 2018

    Ever wanted to be able to view devices from your Jamf server from within your Freshdesk environment? Well, I just posted a new integration on the Jamf Marketplace just for Freshdesk. This plugin will display a search bar on the right side of the screen. Enter a serial number to find your devices. If a match is found, you’ll see information on the device (note: this is up on GitHub so you can change what fields you see).If you don’t find anything that matches a given pattern, you’ll get an error.

    Using Managed App Config with Jamf Pro

    March 13, 2018

    Hey look, there’s a new category on the Jamf Marketplace, available at https://marketplace.jamf.com/apps/#category=AppConfig,selecting the AppConfig category. The new AppConfig category gives administrators of any MDM that supports AppConfig access to a set of apps that support AppConfig. If you have an app that isn’t listed here, feel free to let me know. What does this mean? Well, AppConfig is a way of sending data into an app. App config allows a customer to deploy settings into applications on iOS devices in much the same way that settings can be sent into a Mac app via the defaults command. This means an end user could get an app installed on their device…

    Query Tomcat Logs On Windows Servers

    July 11, 2017

    Tomcat logs events into the system log. You can use the get-wmiobject commandlet to see events. Here, we’ll look at a JSS and view only system events: Get-WmiObject Win32_NTLogEvent -ComputerName $jss -Filter "LogFile='system' We can then use AND to further constrain to specific messages, in this case those containing Tomcat: Get-WmiObject Win32_NTLogEvent -ComputerName $jss -Filter "LogFile='system' AND (Message like '%Tomcat%') We can then further constrain output to those with a specific EventCode with another compound statement: Get-WmiObject Win32_NTLogEvent -ComputerName $jss -Filter "LogFile='system' AND (Message like '%Tomcat%') AND (EventCode=1024) For a comprehensive list of Windows event codes, see https://www.ultimatewindowssecurity.com/securitylog/encyclopedia/default.aspx.
