Hi Anthony, you mean more or less instantly? If no, entering a Mail Relay under UMS Administration=>Mail settings, then creating a View that covers that filter and last, creating an Admin Task (UMS Administration=>Admin Task) which send the results of a view via mail, could help!

Instantly: IMI, the RestAPI could deliver that with a few scriptings, I believe. @member, the IMI Guru, might already have done that maybe?

yes you can do something like that with the API and with PSIGEL github.com/IGEL-Community/PSIGEL/blob/master/Docs/Get-UMSDevice.md#example-2

but the interesting question would be: What is the usecase?

You could also accomplish this with a monitoring solution and with custom commands.

thanks guys will check it out … Use case.. is we deploy spare units to our outlets allover the country. we would like to know if they be sneaky and plug the spare unit in and use when they shouldn’t …

Well in this case i would look periodically for the “LastBootTime” of those devices. Either with said API/Powershell function, or just with a view.
