Patch management for Linux/Solaris

[mrAibo]

Hallo collegs!
First of all - Happy new year!!!

I would like ask you if in the Zabbix possible to manage or protocoll the patches for Solaris and Linux like in Nagios? Can you post your solutions here?

[mrAibo]

Nobody monitors patchstatus on serverparks?

if that possible in nagios, it is in zabbix possible, too..

can ou give me please a link to the nagios-plugin??

[Colttt]

in debian/ubuntu it works with:

apt-get install update-notifier-common
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable

after this you can use grep and awk to finish the output..

the same on centos/RHEL

yum --security check-update

there is a package named "apt-show-versions" in ubuntu that gives the better result, even with the name of the packages.
