Tracking and Monitoring your Application Deployment

You can track recent deployment of apps and profiles to your devices in Workspace ONE UEM by reviewing deployment historical data and the install status on devices. You can also monitor the app deployment progress and track the true state of the application as reported by the device.

The App and Profile Monitor tracks the status of app and profile deployments to your end-user devices. The monitor only tracks apps and profiles deployed in the past 15 days. This data allows you to see the status of your deployments and diagnose any issues.When you search for an app or profile, a card containing the deployment data is added to the App and Profile Monitor view. You can only display five cards at a time. These cards remain added until you log out. Any cards must be added again when you log in again.

The Historical section only shows the past seven days of data. It shows the number of devices reporting the Done status for deployment. The Current Deployment section shows the device deployment status. If you see an Incomplete status, select the number next to the status to see a Device List View of all devices reporting the status. This feature lets you examine devices with issues so you can troubleshoot your deployment. The App and Profile Monitor only tracks deployments started after upgrading to Workspace ONE ™ UEM v9.2.1+. If you deployed the app or profile before upgrading, the monitor does not track any data on the deployment.

View your Application Deployment Status in the App and Profile Monitor

Track a deployment of an application or profile to end-user devices with the App and Profile Monitor. This monitor provides at-a-glance information on the status of your deployments.

Monitor Application Deployment Progress From the Device Details Page

The application deployment information in the Device Details page provides information to the administrators about the applications that they want to deploy to their end-user devices through Workspace ONE UEM console. The deployment progress provides information about the apps that are entitled to a particular user’s device and user’s personal apps (depending on the privacy policy). The information can be useful for troubleshooting the application status on the individual device.

Complete the following steps to track the application deployment progress from the Device Details page.

Complete the following steps to track the application deployment progress from the Device Details page.

Monitor your Individual Application Version

You can track individual application versions from the Summary and Devices tabs of the the Details View to audit application deployments and perform management functions. For all the internal Applications, you can view a summary of a particular application version deployment progress and take actions on the subset of devices. To improve accuracy, Workspace ONE UEM provides different dimensions to the information and allow bulk actions. Public Applications summary metrics for the store applications that are deployed to your end-user devices and the devices list associated with a particular VPP application can be used for reporting and taking bulk actions.

Complete the following steps to track the deployment of individual application versions:

  1. Navigate to Resources > Apps.
  2. Select the Application Type.
  3. Search for and select the desired application.
  4. Select the Summary tab and review the application information.
