Export of all applications in our environment (across all machines)

[Scotty]

Does anyone have a good method to pull al list of all applications across all machines? We have Jamf Cloud so I am not sure if I can run SQL queries directly against the DB.

Preferably something I can get to Excel so I can filter out all the Windows applications on VMs.

Search for

%

in the Applications search. Each version of each app gets its own line. I got 170,424. It takes a while. Select all, paste into a text editor, clean up if necessary, import data from text in excel.

You could do an advanced search for all your devices, I would suggest a check-in filter for within x days. Then export to Excel and do the lifting there, or could even use a reporting tool like Microsoft Power BI and give your guys a pretty charts and graphs :)

@cybertunnel what would I be searching for with advanced search? That just finds machine info for me...

@chris.hansen % in App search just times out.. Jamf Cloud, I have tried several times.

@ScottSimmons I second creating an Advanced Search for this. You can then search by last inventory update and computer groups. Here is mine.

Then click "Reports" and then click "Applications" from the dropdown then click "Applications" for the inventory item then download it as a CSV.

@jared_f that did the trick, thanks the extra details. not sure why I didn't figure that out on my own, seems simple enough.

No problem @ScottSimmons. I would be cautious using smartgroups for this, it is possible though. Depending on how often your inventorying your machines (I have it set to 30 mins), it can really choke your JSS down to a crawl.
