For example, it can be used to check which OS patches have been installed on a particular device to ensure compliance and security.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all OS patch installs for a device by providing the device ID.
  2. Use the retrieved patch data to generate reports or trigger alerts for missing critical patches.
