check version of gatekeeper?

Hi Joachim, there's no way I know you can check that.GateKeeper is built into OS X and is updated only through updates and upgrades. What you are looking at is an install log and all it shows is that it was updated.

Open the Terminal application (Launchpad : Other : Terminal).

Copy and paste the blue text into your Terminal, and then press return. This will output the last Gatekeeper update, or in the case of the second command, the last XProtect update.

# Output last version and installed date for Gatekeeper

$ system_profiler SPInstallHistoryDataType | awk '/Gatekeeper/,/Install/ {$1=$1;print}' | tail -6

Result:

Gatekeeper Configuration Data:

Version: 95

Source: Apple

Install Date: 8/16/16, 4:39 PM

# Output last installed date for XProtectPlistConfigData. Version is always 1.0.

$ system_profiler SPInstallHistoryDataType | awk '/XProtect/,/Install/ {$1=$1;print}' | tail -5

Result:

XProtectPlistConfigData:

Version: 1.0

Source: Apple

Install Date: 7/10/16, 7:22 PM

You can also find this information via the Apple logo : About This Mac : System Report… : Software : Installations panel.

Yes Viking, you are correct. Either way works.

I mentioned in my post that XProtect version was always 1. You go by the last date stamp, and though that was in July for you, also it was for me. We get XProtect and Gatekeeper updates pushed to us by Apple when they have them available for us. You have the latest.

I am puzzled. You are showing the current information for the individual XProtect files (again, same as me), but the install date from above is showing the end of April in 2015. Is that the result of my second command sequence that I posted earlier?

Here is the System Preferences : App Store settings that I use. The second checkmark includes the GateKeeper and XProtect data.

I have OS X 10.11.6 installed with all updates selected for app installation per system preferences. When I looked at my installation log per system profile, I could not find any of the following files that were referenced about for the same OS X installation:

MRT Configuration Data

Incompatible Kernel Extension Configuration Data

Gatekeeper Configuration Data

Core Services Application Configuration Data

Why would I be missing these files if I have the same OS X installed? How do I install them? What is the effect of not having them installed? Why would this occur on my end?

Thanks.
