New in version 1.7: Enterprise
Using the reporting functions in WAPT¶
Hint
Feature only available with WAPT Enterprise.
Working principle¶
WAPT Enterprise offers advanced reporting capabilities.
Indeed, who better than you to know what you want in your report.
With WAPT we offer to write your own SQL queries to display the result in the wapt console.
WAPT query Designer¶
The query designer offers you the ability to edit your own queries on the WAPT PostgreSQL database.
To create a new report, click on .
Designing a query in WAPT reporting¶
Hint
to rename a query, press the F2 key;
in the top banner, you can write your SQL query;
To edit / modify / save your reports:
the Reload queries button is used to reload queries saved on the server, for example, if a colleague has just edited a new query;
the New query button will add a new blank query to the list;
the Delete query button will delete the selected query from the WAPT server;
the Export to Excel button will export the result of your query to a spreadsheet;
the Save queries button will save your query to the WAPT server;
the Duplicate button will duplicate an existing query to avoid writing a request from scratch;
the Execute button executes the selected query;
Note
the queries are saved in the PostgreSQL WAPT database;
the shortcut CTRL+space allows you to build your queries more effectively;
Query examples¶

when 'Notebook' then '01-Laptop'
when 'Laptop' then '01-Laptop'
when 'Desktop' then '02-Desktop'
when 'Tower' then '02-Desktop'

else '99-'||(dmi->'Chassis_Information'->>'Type')
end as type_chassis,
string_agg(distinct coalesce(manufacturer,'?') ||' '|| coalesce(productname,''),', '),
count(*) as "Nb_Machines" from hosts
group by 1
List hosts with their Windows Serial Key
select computer_name,os_name,os_version,host_info->'windows_product_infos'->'product_key' as windows_product_key from hosts order by 3,1
WAPT query¶
List WAPT Packages in WAPT server repository
select package,version,architecture,description,section,package_uuid,count(*)
from packages
group by 1,2,3,4,5,6
List hosts needing upgrade
select
computer_fqdn, host_status, last_seen_on::date,h.wapt_status,string_agg(distinct lower(s.package),' ')
from hosts h
left join hostpackagesstatus s on s.host_id=h.uuid and s.install_status != 'OK'
where (last_seen_on::date > (current_timestamp - interval '1 week')::date and host_status!='OK')
group by 1,2,3,4
Packages query¶
List packages with their number of installation
select package,version,architecture,description,section,package_uuid,count(*)
from hostpackagesstatus s
where section not in ('host','unit','group')
group by 1,2,3,4,5,6
Software query¶
WAPT Community agents
select h.uuid,h.computer_name,install_date::date,version,h.listening_timestamp::timestamp,name from hostsoftwares s
left join hosts h on h.uuid=s.host_id
where
s.key='WAPT_is1'
AND (name ilike 'WAPT%%Community%%' OR name ilike 'WAPT %%')
List hosts with their 7zip version associated
select hosts.computer_name,hostsoftwares.host_id,hostsoftwares.name,hostsoftwares.version
from hosts,hostsoftwares
where hostsoftwares.name ilike '7-zip%%' and hosts.uuid=hostsoftwares.host_id
order by hosts.computer_name ASC
List hosts with their softwares
select
n.normalized_name,s.version,string_agg(distinct lower(h.computer_name),' '),count(distinct h.uuid)
from hostsoftwares s
left join normalization n on (n.original_name = s.name) and (n.key = s.key)
left join hosts h on h.uuid = s.host_id
where (n.normalized_name is not null) and (n.normalized_name<>'') and not n.windows_update and not n.banned and (last_seen_on::date > (current_timestamp - interval '3 week')::date)
group by 1,2
List normalized softwares
select
n.normalized_name,string_agg(distinct lower(h.computer_name),' '),count(distinct h.uuid)
from hostsoftwares s
left join normalization n on (n.original_name = s.name) and (n.key = s.key)
left join hosts h on h.uuid = s.host_id
where (n.normalized_name is not null) and (n.normalized_name<>'') and not n.windows_update and not n.banned and (last_seen_on::date > (current_timestamp - interval '3 week')::date)
group by 1
You can also find several more examples of queries on Tranquil IT’s Forum.
Feel free to post your own queries on the same forum with an explanation of what your query does, ideally with a screen capture or a table showing a sample of your query result.
Normalizing software names¶
Sometimes, the version of the software or its architecture are an integral part of the software name. When they register with the WAPT Server inventory, they appear as different software whereas they are just one software for us humans.
To solve this problem, we propose to standardize the name of the software with WAPT.
Normalizing the name of software¶
click Normalize Software Names in the Tools menu;
select the software to standardize, for example, all different version of Adobe Flash Player;
on the column normalized, press F2 to assign a standardized name to the selected software. Then press Enter;
Note
to select several programs, select them with the shift-up/down key combination;
you can also indicate a software like windows update or banned (Press spacebar in the corresponding column);
press on Import to load the changes from the server;
press on Write to save your changes;
You can now run your queries on this standardized name.
