Inventory module

Gathers inventory information found in /Library/Managed Installs/ApplicationInventory.plist

The table provides the following information per 'item':

• id (int) Unique id
• serial_number (string) Serial Number
• name (string) Name
• version (string) Version
• bundleid (string) Bundle ID
• bundlename (string) Bundle Name
• path (string) Path

Configuration

The inventory module has two settings that can be managed by adding them to the server environment variables or the .env file.

BUNDLEID_IGNORELIST

List of bundle-ids to be ignored when processing inventoryThe list is processed using regex, examples:

Skip all virtual windows apps created by parallels and VMware

BUNDLEID_IGNORELIST='com.parallels.winapp.*, com.vmware.proxyApp.*'

Skip all Apple apps, except iLife, iWork and Server

BUNDLEID_IGNORELIST='com.apple.(?!iPhoto)(?!iWork)(?!Aperture)(?!iDVD)(?!garageband)(?!iMovieApp)(?!Server).*'

Skip all apps with empty bundle-id's

BUNDLEID_IGNORELIST='^$'

Defaults:

BUNDLEID_IGNORELIST='com.parallels.winapp.*,com.vmware.proxyApp.*, com.apple.print.PrinterProxy, com.google.Chrome.app.*'

BUNDLEPATH_IGNORELIST

List of bundle-paths to be ignored when processing inventory. The list is processed using regex, examples:

Skip all apps in /System/Library

BUNDLEPATH_IGNORELIST='/System/Library/.*'

Skip all apps that are contained in an app bundle (Please note that backslashes need to be escaped)

BUNDLEPATH_IGNORELIST='.*\\.app\\/.*\\.app'

Defaults:

BUNDLEPATH_IGNORELIST='/System/Library/.*, .*/Library/AutoPkg.*, /.DocumentRevisions-V100/.*, /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Uninstall/.*, .*/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Web Applications/.*'

APPS_TO_TRACK

Apps Version Widget

List of applications, by name, that you want to see in the apps version report. If this is not set the report page will appear empty. This is case insensitive but must be an array.

APPS_TO_TRACK='Flash Player, Java, Firefox, Microsoft Excel'

Single app widget

Starting with MunkiReport v5.2.0 you can also use multiple widgets that each track a single application. This way you have more control over your dashboard and you can track different apps in different dashboards. To accomplish this, pass the appName and widget variables to the widget using the dashboard yaml file.

Note that you still can use the APPS_TO_TRACK configuration by not passing in appName.

Example:

display_name: My Awesome Dashboard
hotkey: q
row1:
    app1: {appName: "Safari", widget: "app"}
    app2: {appName: "Visual Studio Code", widget: "app"}
    messages:
row2:
    new_clients:
    pending_apple:
    pending_munki:
row3:
    munki:
    disk_report:
    uptime:
