That's exactly why I post my requests here.

This should work for you but not after the fact:

Building on Enrique's suggestion...

Use Composer to create a package that is named for your configuration. It
can contain nothing.

Add that package to your configuration so that it gets "installed" or at
least the JSS will store a receipt that it was installed.

In the JSS, view Logs --> Packages installed by the Casper Suite. Click the
"Computers With" button.

Hope this helps!
