log analytics how to pull all updates installed on a server with names
CliveWatsonHi Clive. Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw those and they do provide useful information but from what I can see it all pertains to what Update Management did rather than the current status of a machine. I wanted a way to ascsertain what updates/packages were on a machine regardless of how they were installed, which I don't seem to be able to find. It doesn't look like manually installed updates/packages would be logged anywhere. Or have I missed the query?!

neilashbysenior Did you find a solution for this topic? I am experiencing the same issue. The idea is to check if certain KBs are installed, to ensure that some CVEs are patched...
- Hi MiguelAND, not directly, I ended up using logs from an Elastic beat on the box itself to provide the information with which we could alert if an update was installed outside of Update Management. You could probably get the same information from the Windows Event Logs going into Log Analytics.
neilashbysenior I think Usage only shows the required updates, not what is there. Others may know more as I'm not familiar with the data itself.
