[Spacewalk-list] Patching notifcation - status & alerts

[P.Cookson at bham.ac.uk]

Hi Sethu

I've raised a separate query, today, asking how to configure patching of RHEL 6/7 servers with Spacewalk. As it seems that you're already patching RHEL 7 servers, can you let me know how you've managed this please?

Sorry for hijacking your "patching notification" thread!

Regards
Phil

Robert-

-> Yes, But I am looking for patch notification alerts (mails), when patch starts is it possible to notify via mail?
-> When Patch is under progress how I can check the status (logs) from 
-> CLI a least?. I know from Web interface, but it shows only in progress (how can we check current status of the patch here) for a long time How can I get notification  mail/alert if patch is failed/success with error/success(list of patches applied) after completion of patch?

I appreciate if you can help me on above 

Regards
Sethu

Hi Sethu,

you only see the status of the Patch "process", if you scheduled the patches from the Web interface onto the clients.

You can then see the status within Web interface on the client at "system" -> events -> pending or history.

If you just run "yum upgrade" on the client, you won't see anything within Web interface. You'll only notice, that the package list has updated and there should not be any package to be upgraded anymore.

Hope that helped.
