Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for posting on SOTI Pulse, Thanks Raymond and Edgar for responding to the post, your expertise and willingness to help are greatly appreciated!

Regarding your query, we do have a script called "identify_activity" that can capture the latest current activity on a device. However, at this time, SOTI does not offer a feature or script that can retrieve every activity on a device at any given time, nor can it be scheduled to do so.

As Edgar suggested, you have the option to create a data collection rule that can display the foreground applications in use. Please note that this will only provide information about the applications actively in the foreground and won't cover background activities.

Alternatively, you can utilize the ADB tool to extract a comprehensive detailed log file from your device. This log file will contain information about every activity on the device, from the moment you start capturing the logs until you stop. However, it's important to be aware that this method requires manual intervention.

I hope this information is helpful for your requirements.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're dedicated to providing assistance and support.

Kind regards,

As far as I know, what you need is not achievable with any MobiControl script.

The kernel of the Android Operating System used to keep detailed system log and statistics of various apps/activities running on the system.  However, more recent versions of Android seem to have related kernel/system features weakened (e.g. store only delayed and less details of such apps/activities) in order not to infringe privacy of device end-users.  

To have an idea of apps used in the device, you can set a data collection rule including App in Foreground. The minimun collection schedule is 2 min.
