I've got the 'xymon-client' installed on many machines and was wondering if the client gathers any info regarding Security and Package updates that can be updated? I've searched the 'clientlog' and there's no mention of Updates anywhere. Does anyone have a way to view available updates from linux clients?
Debian's hobbit-plugins collection contains checks for apt as well as for yum: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hobbit-plugins/tree/master/src/usr/lib/xymon...
If you're on Debian or a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, you can just do "apt install hobbit-plugins" and the "apt" check is active by default.
The yum check works fine on at least RHEL 6 and 7. Just copy it to the proper directory and write a tiny .cfg file to activate it.
