The Policy Deployment Status panel gives you a real-time view of how each item in a Policy is deploying across your devices. Use it to quickly spot errors, track pending deployments, and drill into per-device output to debug issues.
Opening Policy Deployment Status
You can access Deployment Status from two places:
- In the Policies list, click the ... menu in the Actions column and select Deployment Status...
- From inside a Policy, click the Deployment Status button in the Overview tab.
Using Deployment Status
Identifying Errors
Catalog items with deployment errors are flagged immediately — a red badge showing the error count appears next to the item name in the left panel. This lets you prioritize which items need attention without having to click through each one.
Searching for Items and Devices
Select a catalog item in the left panel to load its deployment details. From there, you can search for a specific deployed item by name. Once you select an item, a second search field lets you filter by device.
Viewing Deployment Output
Clicking into a specific device shows the raw output from that deployment run. This is especially useful for debugging failures in catalog items that use custom scripts.
Deployment Statuses
Each device returns one of the following statuses for a given catalog item:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | The deployment has been initiated but hasn't been received by the device yet. All deployments start here and transition to another status once the device checks in. |
| Success | The item deployed successfully and returned an exit code of 0. |
| Failure | The item encountered an error during deployment and returned an exit code of 1. View the output to help debug the issue. |
| N/A | The item did not run — typically because it isn't compatible with the device's OS version or another condition prevented it from applying. |
Expanding any catalog item shows the full device list with each device's individual status. Click a device name to open its detail view.
