Report to show Installed Unix Software using NCM

Question

Is it possible to create  report, using NCM, that shows the Installed Software on a Unix machine?  I'm trying to create a report that has last installed software on a Unix machine (server).  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

I was able to get the installed software using the mib, but the Installed Date was in hex.  Is there anyway to get the installedDate oid to work on Unix (Solaris)?

Thanks in advance

NCM uses the standard HOST-RESOURCES-MIB to gather the installed software information.   If the Unix machine supports this MIB, then it should work.   If it doesn't, you would have to install the free Net-SNMP agent on that machine to enable this support.
