SOFTWARE PATCH ANALYTICS DEVICES AND SYSTEMS

An example software patch analytics device includes a processor to: receive respective software change indicators for a subset of monitored devices on which software version changes have occurred since a previous polling, including current software version identifiers of the software installed at the devices of the subset; in response to receiving the indicators: update a storage device with the current software version identifiers for the subset the devices; retrieve, from a software version storage device, available software version indicators of the software installed at the devices; generate a report indicating statistics for software versions installed at the devices by comparing the available software version indicators with the current software version identifiers for the subset, and the previously determined software version indicators for the devices outside of the subset; and troubleshoot issues identified in the report. 示例性软件补丁分析设备包括处理器，该处理器用于：接收用于自从先前轮询以来已经在其上发生软件版本改变的被监视设备的子集的相应的软件改变指示符，包括：安装在子集的
