    Exlude erratas from errata_status

    Posted on

    Hi,
    This is problably not possible, but :)

    We use errata_status field in satellite for keeping track if hosts are patched or not.

    We are using a single content view for all hosts.

    Some servers exlude certain packages when they are patched causing errata_status to show that they still have updates after patching.

    For administrative reasons, we dont want to create seperate content views for these servers.

    Is there a way to exlude certain packages when errata_status is being calculated?

    Or are there any alternative solutions? I was thinking of creating a ansible role that does something like "yum list updates" that can check a local file that contains the exluded packages and set a fact that is reported back to satellite.

    Thanks for any suggestions ...
