Inspecting Available Errata

The following procedure describes how to view and filter the available errata and how to display metadata of the selected advisory. To use the CLI instead of the {ProjectWebUI}, see the CLI procedure.

Procedure

  1. In the {ProjectWebUI}, navigate to Content > Content Types > Errata to view the list of available errata.

  2. Use the filtering tools at the top of the page to limit the number of displayed errata:

    • Select the repository to be inspected from the list. All Repositories is selected by default.

    • The Applicable checkbox is selected by default to view only applicable errata in the selected repository. Select the Installable checkbox to view only errata marked as installable.

    • To search the table of errata, type the query in the Search field in the form of:

      parameter operator value

      See [Parameters_Available_for_Errata_Search_{context}] for the list of parameters available for search. Find the list of applicable operators in {AdministeringDocURL}Supported_Operators_for_Granular_Search_admin[Supported Operators for Granular Search] in {AdministeringDocTitle}. Automatic suggestion works as you type. You can also combine queries with the use of and and or operators. For example, to display only security advisories related to the kernel package, type:

      type = security and package_name = kernel

      Press Enter to start the search.

  3. Click the Errata ID of the erratum you want to inspect:

    • The Details tab contains the description of the updated package as well as documentation of important fixes and enhancements provided by the update.

    • On the Content Hosts tab, you can apply the erratum to selected content hosts as described in [Applying_Errata_to_Multiple_Hosts_{context}].

    • The Repositories tab lists repositories that already contain the erratum. You can filter repositories by the environment and Content View, and search for them by the repository name.

You can also use the new Host page to view to inspect available errata and select errata to install.

  1. In the {ProjectWebUI}, navigate to Hosts > All Hosts and select the host you require.

  2. If there are errata associated with the host, an Installable Errata card on the new Host page displays an interactive pie chart showing a breakdown of the security advisories, bugfixes, and enhancements.

  3. On the new Host page, select the Content tab.

  4. On the Content page select the Errata tab.

  5. The page displays installable errata for the chosen host.

  6. Click the checkbox for any errata you wish to install.

  7. Select Apply via Remote Execution to use Remote Execution, or Apply via customized remote execution if you want to customize the remote execution.

  8. Click Submit.

CLI procedure

  • To view errata that are available for all organizations, enter the following command:

    # hammer erratum list

  • To view details of a specific erratum, enter the following command:

    # hammer erratum info --id erratum_ID

  • You can search errata by entering the query with the --search option. For example, to view applicable errata for the selected product that contains the specified bugs ordered so that the security errata are displayed on top, enter the following command:

    # hammer erratum list \
--product-id 7 \
--search "bug = 1213000 or bug = 1207972" \
--errata-restrict-applicable 1 \
--order "type desc"
