packages view

Usage

The OpenSVC nodeware gathers installed package list from the nodes and pushes it to the collector. Centralized package lists allow administrators to easily:

• Compare installed version of packages across a set of nodes
• Identify nodes vulnerable to bug or security problems known to certain package versions
• Identify nodes where a package is installed or not installed
• Plan upgrades

Packages database entries not refreshed for more than 24 hours will have its update date highlighted red. Information for such a package should not be trusted.

The toolbox of the node view proposes a tool to highlight package differences between selected nodes.

Clicking on the number of difference pops up the details. For exemple, on the BSD cluster above, the details show the lsof and opensvc packages are installed only on the 'bsd1' node.
