To view patch installation details:

You can filter by 'Patch Management' in the Process Type category. Once filtered, you can click on the icon () to the left of the customer name to see the detailed outcomes.

The details appear. They can be filtered by patch, product, category, device type, and status details. Possible status details include:

• Completed: Patch was successfully installed or uninstalled.
• In progress: Still in process.
• Failed: Patch installation/uninstallation has failed. When this occurs, please check the firewall, AV, network connectivity, and DNS, then try again. Troubleshoot further

View Scripting Details

You can view detailed outcomes on the success/failure of scripts run on specific devices.

To view scripting details:

You can filter by 'Scripting' in the Process Type category. Once filtered, you can click on the  icon to the left of the customer name to see the detailed outcomes.

The details appear. They can be filtered by customer name, script name, category, device name, and status details. Additionally, clicking on a device name opens the agent console, in a separate tab. Possible status details include:

• Completed: The script was successfully run on the device.
  Note: This does not necessarily mean the script did what it was intended to do — just that it ran on the device without returning an error. Atera doesn't verify script effectiveness.
• Pending: The agent is unreachable/offline, and the script will run once it comes back online, 
  per the specific script setting. Learn more about this setting (under "What happens if an agent is offline during a scheduled IT Automation?")
• Failed: The script failed, because the process has timed out (The 'timeout' is set when creating/editing the script. See image below).

Additionally, you can click on the information icon () to see the actual script output. 

From the script, you can also access the agent console by clicking Go to agent.
