Satellite 6 - Package update logs

Latest response

My primary use of Satellite 6 is for deploying monthly package and errata updates to my guest clients. Auditors are requesting logs of past update deployments. I’ve checked several module logs under /var/log with no luck. Can someone please point me to how I can generate a report of package updates?

what type of data are you looking for in your report.

Having had to provide similar in the past, my guess would be that the reports need to answer questions such as "when was CVE X applied to Host Y", "List all updates applied to Host Y", "When was the last time Host Y was updated"

eg.

Update 01
-Host 01 - 20150710
-Host 02 - 20150710

Update history grouped by host (like a global rpm -qa --last)

Host 01
- Update 01 - 20150710
- Update 02 - 20150709
