[Spacewalk-list] How to confirm that spacewalk is fetching updates (for mitigating meltdown bug)

[Raymond Setchfield]

Hi

Our spacewalk server is still currently in development, along with two
servers, a Centos6 and a Centos7 box. These haven't been patched before the
meltdown issue came about.

Been looking out for the patches and kernels coming through, but I do see
these coming through on spacewalk, however not seeing the kernel patches
which should be there? Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or am I
looking for the wrong updates here? Updates are scheduled weekly and should
have at least picked this up twice now?

Base/EPEL/Extra is the channels that I have subscribed to

Thanks

Ray
