How APM calculate critical missing windows updates
Hello,
In APM it can check on windows update name like KB3170455 also it can perform another check from patch management on Microsoft Windows Update Agent and shows missing patches for example the following
Apr 11 17:10:47 F51 info apmd[5337]: 01490007:6: /Common/Access-Profile:Common:e886ad3b: Session variable 'session.check_software.last.pm.item_1.missing_updates' set to '11' Apr 11 17:10:47 F51 info apmd[5337]: 01490007:6: /Common/Access-Profile:Common:e886ad3b: Session variable 'session.check_software.last.pm.item_1.name' set to 'Microsoft Windows Update Agent' Apr 11 17:10:47 F51 info apmd[5337]: 01490007:6: /Common/Access-Profile:Common:e886ad3b: Session variable 'session.check_software.last.pm.item_1.state' set to '0' Apr 11 17:10:47 F51 info apmd[5337]: 01490007:6: /Common/Access-Profile:Common:e886ad3b: Session variable 'session.check_software.last.pm.item_1.vendor_id' set to '6'

Apr 11 17:10:47 F51 info apmd[5337]: 01490007:6: /Common/Access-Profile:Common:e886ad3b: Session variable 'session.check_software.last.pm.item_1.version' set to '7.6.7601.23806'
I want to know how APM knows missing patches ?! it checks by epsec package we upload in System ›› Software Management Antivirus ›› Check Updates ?! or using another method ?!
