View third party updates already installed vs. pending

[Stephen Cranfill]

Greetings all,

Apologies for what's likely a very rudimentary question. I'm new to SAL and not finding a way to do this.

I have a pkg installer that pushes out updated branded MS Office templates to our users. Since it's not an app, it doesn't show up in Application Inventory. It does, however, show under Pending 3rd Party Updates for users who have yet to get the install. It also shows under the individual records of those who've received the install.

Is there a way I can easily view everyone who's already received the update vs. those for whom the update is pending? It's great to be able to see in a single window those for whom it's pending, but I'd really like to see those for whom it's already been installed.

I've tried searching using the inventory:name of app, but since it's not really an app, it doesn't retrieve any results.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Stephen

If you want to try out the wip branch you'll see a new feature called reports and install status is something that's going to be moved to a new report. If not, hold on, it's coming!

Hi Graham,

Fabulous! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

I'm sure this is old news to everyone here, but since I'm new to Docker & SAL, I'll include my instructions on how I upgraded to the WIP version in hopes it'll help some other newcomers. Note, I'm running this on CentOS 7.

• make a backup / take a VM snapshot to CYA. I screwed it up the first time and had to roll back.
  
• docker pull quay.io/macadmins/sal:wip
  
• docker stop sal
  
• docker rm sal
  
• docker run -d --name sal -p 80:8000 --link postgres-sal:db -e DOCKER_SAL_TZ="YOUR_TIME_ZONE" -e ADMIN_PASS=YOUR_PASSWORD -e DB_NAME=sal -e DB_USER=saldbadmin -e DB_PASS=YOUR_DB_PASSWORD quay.io/macadmins/sal:wip
  

I did re-index as well as the initial results were a bit sparse. Re-indexing seemed to fix that.

• docker exec -ti sal bash 
  
• python /home/docker/sal/manage.py buildwatson
  

Cheers,

Stephen

Watson doesn't have anything to do with these results. They are populated when machines check in as this is new data.
