Description
This Analysis is to gather data about clients who are reporting data to Software Use Analysis. The "Duration of Scan" property will likely report an error if the scan is in progress, and probably for other reasons I have not yet investigated. The "ScanLog-ModTime" property should be the time of the last scan, unless a scan is in progress. The "Time between Scan & Upload" property is the difference of the mod time of the newest upload and the mod time of the scan log, which may be incorrect/negative if a scan is in progresss.
NOTE: This is "BETA" code and is not fully tested or in full production. This is an attempt to gather helpful feedback on the status of SUA on the client.
NOTE: This has only been tested on Windows, but should work on other OSes with minor adjustments.

| Analyses tend to be rather safe since they can't make changes to the system. This analysis was used in production, but I haven't used it recently so it is possible that some properties won't work, but even so they shouldn't cause any harm. | |
