How to get Patch status from RMT Server?

Hi Team,

I was able to get all the client patch status and report from SMT server using smt-client -v command but how I can get the same from RMT server? What is the command and procedure to achieve it?

@rajadurainainan Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:
I’m not running SMT, however on a SLE system you can use the zypper command to see package information, for example zypper se -s -t patch where -t specifies type, in this case patches and zypper se -si -t patch to see installed patches… Maybe smt-reports will provide more information on what your after?

@malcolmlewis1 Thanks for your reply. I would required below command output from RMT server.

smt-client -v

@rajadurainainan then zypper lp should give what you need.

smt-client -v will get all the clients connected to the SMT server that will help us to get all the server patch status. Likewise, I could not find an option to get the same from RMT server.

@rajadurainainan Did you try zypper lp command?

Whilst not as informative, I think “rmt-cli systems list” is the closest you’ll get from an RMT-related command. RMT just isn’t as full featured as SMT.
