## How to Get the Software Status of Managed Hosts (Web Browser)

1. If you are not already in the appropriate host group, see How to Access the Hosts Section and Appropriate Administrative Domain and Host Group (Web Browser).

2. Select the managed hosts and host groups for which you want to get the software status.

   For example, select `host1` and `host2` by clicking the checkbox next to `host1` and `host2`.

3. From the Host Actions menu, choose Get Software Status.

4. Supply a meaningful job name.

   For example, the job name might be `Get Software Status for host1 and host2`.

5. Determine when you want to run the job, either now or at another time.

   - To initiate the job immediately, click the Start Now radio button.

   - Run the job at a later time by specifying the start date and start time.

     - Start date. Click the date or specify the date in the mm/dd/yyyy format.

       mm and dd are two-digit forms for the month and day. yyyy is the four-digit form for the year.

     - Start time. Choose the start time from the hour and minute pull-down menus.

6. To specify the report file, do one of the following:

   - Specify the path name of the report file.

   - Click Browse to choose the report file in which to store the results.

   For example, the report file is stored in `/files/web-server/host1-host2.software.status.txt`.

7. Click Submit to get the software status, or click Cancel to return to the previous page.

   The software status operation takes some time to complete.

8. When the operation completes, view the generated software status reports.

   1. Go to the Files section.

      Click the Files tab at the top of the page.

   2. Drill down to the folder where you stored the software status reports.

   3. Click the name of the software status report to go to the property page.

      You can view one software status report at a time.

      If the software status report is very large, use the Prev and Next buttons to navigate between pages.

   4. To return to the folder that holds the software status reports, click Back.

      Repeat Steps 8c and 8d to view more software status reports.
