I'm looking to configure an alert for when Java updates on a node. I'm sure there's a few ways to go about it, not sure which one is best. I can do a File Change Monitor on the .dll and .exe files, but would I have to update the threshold every time we approve an update? Or would the baseline re-adjust?
I was also looking into a WMI query, but while I would normally use this: "wmic product where "name like '%Java%'" get version", I'm not certain how to integrate it with the WMI component. I don't believe I had the syntax proper for the WMI Component to use.
I tried inputting the query in the Powershell Monitor, but the condition returned was always "false" and thus unreliable.
param(
[string]$file_ver
)
$val = [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo("C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin\java.exe").FileVersion
if ($val -eq $file_ver) {
Write-Host "Statistic: 0"
} else {
Write-Host "Statistic: 1"
}
Exit 0
Any ideas on how to best implement this?
