Description of problem: As a user of Satellite 6.1, I would like the ability to see on the 'Content Hosts' page (Hosts->Content-Hosts) of the Satellite the number of packages (RPMs) that a host needs to become fully updated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): katello-2.2.0.8-1.el6_6sat.noarch Additional info: Today on the content-hosts page, we list installable errata (RHEA|RHBA|RHSA). However, much of my content is synchronized in from yum repositories that do not provide errata metadata. Thus, my content views are created from a mix of sources; some with errata metadata; some without. Having this capability prominently displayed will allow me to determine how many packages need to be updated on a content-host.
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
