Basic report

A CSV file is printed on stdout listing each system with details of the number of security, bug and enhancement errata that are available on each host.

↪ ./sat6Inventory.py -n SERVER -u USERNAME [-p PASSWORD]

Advanced report

A CSV file is printed on stdout listing each system with details of the number of security, bug and enhancement errata that are available on each host. The report takes longer to run, but shows the breakdown of security errata by critical, important, moderate and low severity levels.

↪ ./sat6Inventory.py -a -n SERVER -u USERNAME [-p PASSWORD] -o 'MyOrganization'

Library report

A CSV file is printed on stdout listing each system with details of the number of security, bug and enhancement errata that are both available and applicable to each host. The report takes longer to run, but shows the breakdown of security errata by critical, important, moderate and low severity levels. In addition, two CSV files are generated in the working directory listing available and applicable errata for each host.

↪ ./sat6Inventory.py -l -n SERVER -u USERNAME [-p PASSWORD] -o 'MyOrganization'

Help Output

  -a, --advanced        Use this flag if you want to divide security errata by
                        severity. Note: this will reduce performance of this

  -l, --library         Use this flag to also report on Library Synced Content
                        AND to divide security errata by severity. Note: this
                        will reduce performance of this script significantly.
