Can anyone tell me what software/agent/code is used to to inform katello/foreman that a system is either up to date or needs patches (aka erratas that apply to host) and what executes it? From what I've come up with thus far, I perform the following task on a host and then everything is good. But this is because puppet agent does a puppet run every 35'is minutes. At least that's what my understanding is.
1. So first I create a host in foreman with the specifics/details needed to define a specific host. 2. On a existing system I run these task. Rough draft of the steps I follow to set up an existing host. -- install subscription manager wget https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dgoodwin/subscription-manager/repo/epel-6/dgoodwin-subscription-manager-epel-6.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/dgoodwin-subscription-manager-epel-6.repo -- install katello client yum install -y http://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/3.2/client/el6/x86_64/katello-client-repos-latest.rpm yum -y install katello-agent wget --no-check-certificate https://foreman.domain.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm rpm -ihv ./katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm subscription-manager register --org="myOrg" --activationkey="COS6" -- Install puppet rpm -ihv https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm yum -y install puppet add the following two lines just under [main] server = foreman.domain.com environment = production -- puppet agent -t -- service puppet start -- chkconfig puppet on So after doing these steps i'm able to login to foreman and see weather or not a system has outstanding erratas that need to be applied and I can apply them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
