Is there a way to see what systems don’t have a software package installed. IE we are installing a new antivirus package and I want to see what systems still have yet to be installed.
Hi!
Enable HW/SW inventory for every host (https://checkmk.com/cms_inventory.html). Then use the view
Search Software packages
Good luck!
This will not work completely 
you see where the software X is installed but not where it is missing.
Inside this you cannot make a negate for the package name.
What is easier is that you use the “Host search” view and extend/modify it with the filter “Host has Software Package”. There it is possible to negate the search.

This is it! Thank you very much. CheckMK should look to advertise this feature! It will save a lot of time in the future.
I don’t think this is the proper way to do it.
You don’t just wanna know if the software is installed. You will need to also want to know if the software is actually running.
So you better go to “Manual Checks -> State and count of processes/services” and create a rule that expects your software process or service to be running.
