What it does

Runs a scheduled sweep across your fleet inventory, flags every endpoint running below the approved patch baseline, and turns each offender into an actionable ClickUp task with owner, severity, and days-behind already filled in.

When to use it

Use this when patch reports pile up unread and nobody owns the follow-through. It converts a static compliance snapshot into individual tickets that route to the right team and age visibly until closed.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule fires the sweep at a quiet hour.
  2. 2The flow queries the Postgres inventory table for devices whose installed patch version is older than the current baseline.
  3. 3A filter drops devices already inside their maintenance grace window so you don't re-ticket them.
  4. 4For each remaining stale device it computes a severity from how many days it has drifted.
  5. 5It creates one ClickUp task per device, tagged with hostname, owner, and severity.
  6. 6A summary count is posted as the final output so the on-call sees the night's total at a glance.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  2. 2
    Connect ClickUpDocs + tasks + chats in one workspace.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
