I would love to use it for solaris as well. What has anyone done on that venue? I can see pca as a good tool for that.
Thanks for pca pointer, this is definitely a very-nice-to-have xymon module. I am checking it out by implementing it on my test xymon environment.
pca - analyze, download and install patches for Sun Solaris
"pca --xymon" is what I am looking to implement. it won't download and install patch just alert the missing patches on xymon server under pca column.

I got hit up with the task of using xymon to monitor whether our windows servers are patched. I saw a plugin on deadcat that requires licensed software from shavlik.com, (and being over 4 years old, I have no idea if it works with bbwin, or if shavlik's api was still the same) but wondered if there were any other solutions out there. Minimum functionality is a list of applied patches that would show up on the client data link.
For our linux boxes, I could probably just rpm -qa --last | head and check the date that an RPM was last installed - if it's more than a month, there is probably a problem... But I don't know enough about windows to come up with a simple solution for those boxes.
