I've got the 'xymon-client' installed on many machines and was wondering
if the client gathers any info regarding Security and Package updates that
can be updated? I've searched the 'clientlog' and there's no mention of
Updates anywhere. Does anyone have a way to view available updates from
linux clients?
Debian's hobbit-plugins collection contains checks for apt as well as for yum:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hobbit-plugins/tree/master/src/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext
If you're on Debian or a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, you can just
do "apt install hobbit-plugins" and the "apt" check is active by
default.
The yum check works fine on at least RHEL 6 and 7. Just copy it to the
proper directory and write a tiny .cfg file to activate it.
Kind regards, Axel
