Schedule with Heartbeat Trigger

Avatar
support

From what I gathered reading the help it seems like my deployment should work as planned but it does not appear to be so please advise.  I have setup a deployment and scheduled it with an attached schedule that is based upon a heartbeat trigger linked to a PDQ Inventory Collection.  PDQ Inventory is set to heartbeat every 300 seconds so I expected that after a new machine shows up in a collection within 10 minutes or hopefully less the heartbeat would have run against the machine which would kick off the deployment.  Is this the intention and am I setting it up correctly to accomplish this deployment?

 

Thanks in advance

    One more thing I forgot to mention in the above post is this does work if I choose start schedule manually in PDQ Deploy, but if I manually force a heartbeat on the collection it does not seem to kick the deployment off.

     

    Thanks again

    Actually the trigger is when a computer goes from offline status to online in Inventory. This is primarily due to the heartbeat mechanism. Only moving from an offline status will trigger the deployment.

    Shane,

     

    Thanks for the quick reply.  That may work fine.  Is there any other recommended method that may work any better?  My collection is set to include any computers that contain a certain ip 6 address used with Microsoft Direct Access and I am trying to catch these machines when online and inventory them and run a few small apps if possible automatically.  This method actually has caught 9 so far so seems to be working even though I thought it wasn't at first.

     

    Thanks again,

    Another option is the Retry Queue. You can see some videos here.
