There is no magic here, unfortunately, just collected everything you'd need in one place.

NinjaRMM has a finite amount of data it collects from an enpoint. To troubleshoot or audit, scripts have to be applied to endpoints one at a time. One part of gathering data more efficiently is scripting, which can be executed via Ninja's GUI. The ability to hit all the endpoints for a customer, or one of their sites, is for later.

To get data back from commands, like a list of users and groups, to augment the "Details" screen for each endoint, I'm experimenting with the Event Viewer. I also wanted more flexibility in responses to automated & 1-time scripts.

This post shows how far this testing has gone, and to solicit improvements.

As a start, I wrote this ad-hoc PS script that can be run to setup and create test events to 4 sources (arbitrary), with the standard 3 severities. I can now target these logs with any software I like, and parse with NinjaRMM. It can be run on a system more than once, it just carps gently if it sees the Log & Sources are already there.
