When Was My Device Added

Issue

An administrator needs to determine when a device was added to Automox — that is, when the Automox agent first registered on the device — and how to find that date for a single device or across the fleet. This value is also referred to as the agent install date, agent registration date, device enrollment date, or "first seen" date.

Environment

• Automox (current agent release)
• Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Automox Console and API

Find it in the console

1. Open the Devices page.
2. Select Columns.
3. Enable Date Added. The Date Added column shows when each device was first added to Automox, and the Devices list can be sorted by it.

Retrieve it through the API

• Single device: GET /servers/{id} — "Retrieve a Specific Device" (developer.automox.com/…/getServer).
• All devices: GET /servers — "Retrieve details for all devices" (developer.automox.com/…/getDevices).

Read the create_time field — the date and time the device was added to Automox, returned in UTC (for example 2024-12-19T17:42:48+0000).

"Date added" is not "last checked in"

These are two different timestamps and are easy to confuse:

• create_time (console Date Added) — when the device was added / the agent first registered. It does not change.
• last_refresh_time (console Last Scanned) — the last check-in / most recent scan. It advances every time the device scans.

Use Date Added / create_time for the install/enrollment date; use Last Scanned / last_refresh_time to judge recent activity.

Export the date for many devices

To review the added date across the fleet, create a Data Extract (Reports → Data Extracts, or POST /data-extracts) and export the device data for a date range. See "Data Extracts" in the product documentation.

Notes

• create_time reflects when the device was first added (the agent's first successful check-in). If a device is deleted and later re-added, create_time resets to the time of re-registration.
• API timestamps are in UTC; the console renders times in the viewer's local time zone.
• Related terms (for search): agent install date, when was the Automox agent installed, device added date, device enrollment date, first seen, Date Added, agent registration date.
