apt-get update
or apt-get dist-upgrade
without actually installing
packets.It works on Debian and Ubuntu. You need to deploy the plugin
mk_apt
in order for the check to work. It is recommended to install
this plugin with asynchronous execution and at an interval with at
least one hour.
The service goes CRIT
if there are security updates available.
It goes WARN
, if there are other updates available.
These two states can be configured via a WATO rule.
If updates are performed on a host the WARN
and CRIT
state will
remain until the next check interval. To invalidate the cached data
and to trigger the check execution immediately, you can run the
command:
touch -t 197012081200 /var/lib/check_mk_agent/cache/*mk_apt.cache
If you don't want to invalidate the cache manually you can copy the
apt hook under ~/share/doc/check_mk/treasures/mk_apt_hook
to
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/98mk-apt
.
Discovery
One service is created for each system where the {mk_apt} plugin is being installed and the command {apt-get} is present.
