Starting from version 2.10, the AutoElevate agent now includes a LastCheckedInAt date and time value in ISO 8601 format. This value is reported in the Windows Registry, making it easier to monitor agent activity and verify the last successful check-in. This feature is particularly useful for creating queries and scripts in Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools.
 

How to Locate the Last Check-In Date/Time in the Registry

1. Open the Registry Editor:
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and press Enter.
   • Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access and edit the registry.
      
2. Navigate to the AgentStatus Key:
   • Go to the following path in the Registry Editor:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoElevate\AgentStatus
      
3. Find the LastCheckedInAt Value:
   • In the AgentStatus key, look for the LastCheckedInAt entry.
   • This value shows the date and time when the AutoElevate agent last successfully checked in.
      

Use Cases

• RMM Queries: You can use RMM tools to query this registry entry and monitor the agent's last check-in.
• Scripting: You can create PowerShell or command-line scripts to check this value and report on agent check-ins across devices.
   

Example RMM Query

An example RMM query could look for the LastCheckedInAt value in the registry to alert administrators if an agent hasn't checked in within a specified period.

By utilizing this registry value, administrators can more easily track and manage agent activity to ensure all devices are properly monitored and up-to-date.
