I have seen and tested quite a few solutions for monitoring Windows Updates. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a proper solution for Zabbix 4.0. I did notice that some scripts don't work well or that the returned number of critical updates are not correct and so on.
I noticed that checking the last successfully installed Windows update can be quickly done. I did this with a PowerShell script and a wrapper (batch file). I just copied these files over and added a User Parameter to the Zabbix Agent's config file. This works fine and I am able to see how much days have passed after te last successful update.
I am quite new to Zabbix (started last Friday), so please bear with me. Although I have investigated quite some of the available scripts and solutions people share for monitoring Windows Updates for Zabbix (ranging from VB scripts, AutoIT Scripts to PowerShell scripts).
Currently I am going though some PowerShell Scripts... I would like to know if there is a way to determine the amount of "critical" and "security" updates and the required reboots for Windows Servers 2008 - 2019. Is there someone who is able to point me into te right direction? I don't mind to use batch files, VB scripts or PowerShell.
