Report Explanations

Reports offer access to the latest patches, fixes, and incidents. There is also a report type for Sun Update Connection – Enterprise job history, for general job auditing.

When you ask that a report be generated, you select the criteria that are relevant to you, such as host list and whether you want to know which hosts have a specific patch or whether you want to know which do not. The report that is generated is a table of information that you can easily review for efficient, up-to-date management of all your hosts.

• Incidents – Basic information of all known distribution and local incidents.

• CVE Compliance – Incidents that belong to a given CVE ID.

• Host Compliance – Reports on whether hosts are compliant to security and bug fix incidents.

• Incidents Compliance – Mapping between selected incidents and selected hosts; to find if incidents are installed.

• Package Compliance – Incidents relevant to selected packages.

• Service Pack – Incidents created by the publication and release of a service pack by a vendor.

• Jobs History – History of installs and uninstalls done by Sun Update Connection – Enterprise on managed hosts.

Reports enable you to check for new patches, security advisories, and so on. You can get a general report, or test a host or installed package for available fixes. You can search for specific Solaris patches by their CVE IDs.
