Is there a query that let's us know when the UF version on the machines have changed?

Hello folks,

we have some linux machines with UF installed on that connect to our search head.

We haven't access to those machines.

There is some SPL query that can we use to know when the UF version on the machines has changed?

 Thank you.

The Monitoring Console has the ability to track your forwarders, including their versions.  That information is stored in a lookup called "dmc_forwarder_assets".  You then can create an alert that compares what's in the lookup to what was found in the logs.

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd group=tcpin_connections (connectionType=cooked OR connectionType=cookedSSL) fwdType=* guid=* 
| stats values(fwdType) as forwarder_type, latest(version) as version by guid, hostname
| inputlookup append=t dmc_forwarder_assets
| stats values(*) as * by hostname
| where mvcount(version) > 1
