Patch level report (Using PCA)
PCA has been integrated into WeSunSolve so you can generate patch report on any server registered into your account where at least one patch level is defined.
The report which is created by WeSunSolve is based on the information you are entering when adding a server’s patch level: showrev-p.out and pkginfo-l.out.
Theses two files are generated while running the Explorer or simply gathered by hand with the two corresponding commands. (respectively: /usr/bin/showrev -p and /usr/bin/pkginfo -l).
You can see there a full example of such generated report.
To generate a report like this, you must Add a server and an associated patch level, you can achieve this by following steps pointed in the documentation.
Please, give us feedback if you feel something is missing inside this report!
Mail reports
You can also get the previous report being sent to you by mail regularly, everything can be configured to fit your needs… You can:
- Choose the server and the patch level on which the report will be generated;
- Choose the interval between two reports being sent to you: every day, every week, every month ?
- You can decide which patchdiag.xref delay you want to have, this is the best if you always want to have a delay between what’s out and what you will actually install.
This way, you can get a report of what patches are to be installed on your server based on an up-to-date baseline every day…
To create a report, simply follow the steps at our documentation.
API Access
As of now, you can enable the API access inside your panel and take advantage of the function we have recently implemented, like:
- Add a server easily;
- Upload a patch level directly from command line;
We plan to add more feature to the API very soon…
Least known features: Window size
If you are browsing WeSunSolve regularly, you can greatly enhance your browsing by fitting the size of the website to your resolution.
We’ve implemented three size of screen:
- 960px
- 1200px
- 1600px
By default, the website is rendering in 960px, which is fine to cope with most of our visitors but certainly not the best one if you have a 22″ screen 😉
See our documentation to know how to change your settings.
