Description Dhaval Joshi 2022-06-03 14:41:03 UTC

Description of problem:
This is a feature request for providing a report template for "Pending OS patches".

The report would contain the below fields:

Host, OS, IP, Total_Installable_ERRATA_Count, Total_Installable_RPMs_Count, Installable ERRATAs, Installable_RPMs.

The last two fields would contain a list of ERRATA or RPMS instead of a count

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.10


Additional info:


Example:

# yum updateinfo list updates | egrep 'x86_64|i686|noarch' | wc -l
2217  <======= This count is visbile on Satellite WebUI

# yum check-update | egrep 'rhel-7|custom|satellite-tools' | wc -l
425   <======= This is the pending errata count

Comment 1 Sayan Das 2022-06-06 13:10:51 UTC

FYI for the explanation:

Host : Name of the host

OS : OS title of the host

IP : IP of the host

Total_Installable_ERRATA_Count: Count of total Installable\Upgradabale errata for the host

Total_Installable_RPMs_Count:  Count of total Installable\Upgradabale RPMs for the host

Installable ERRATAs: List of Installable\Upgradabale ERRATAs in one cell [ but the values within the cell should be separated by space or comma ]

Installable_RPMs: List of Installable\Upgradabale RPMs in one cell [ but the values within the cell should be separated by space or comma ]


I think the main challenge is to get the last two fields which are always requested by the customers.

Comment 12 Sayan Das 2024-06-05 13:46:48 UTC

Addition to the existing request:

It seems users individually want to parse the following information per host:

* Count of total installable ERRATAs
* Count of individual type of installable ERRATAs [ e.g. security bugfix enhancement ]
* Cound of installable security ERRATAs based on severity of those security erratas i.e. [ Low , Important, Critical, Moderate, None ] etc. 
* Count of total installable\upgradable rpms [ latest version of each ]


It seems We need to be able to print the individual ERRATA IDs for each category in an array or list format [ as suits better ] using their own macros and then `count()` method needs to made accessible via safemode , so that if needed, users can just use the original macro and count the objects wherever the count is needed.
