Retrieving installed RPM package information

The list of installed RPM packages on SUSE Linux Enterprise endpoints can be retrieved by activating analysis on the BigFix console.

About this task

The Installed RPM Package List - SuSE Linux Enterprise analysis provides the number of packages that are installed and the actual names of the packages. It is available on the Linux RPM Patching site.

Viewing the installed RPM packages from the console helps to reduce the need for a system administrator to log on to the actual endpoints.

Procedure

  1. From the Patch Management domain, All Patch Management > Analyses.
  2. Click the Installed RPM Package List - SuSE Linux Enterprise analysis.
  3. Click Activate.
  4. View the package information from the Results tab.
