Hey guys,
you know how you can run $ apt list --upgradable and get a list of all the packages that have a pending update?
I want to get that info from all my linux host in Splunk, so I can see: "this host has 100 pending updates", etc.
I can think of many ways to do it, but the most elegant one I believe would be using the UF with a script to get the data (in a very similar way as the Add-on for Unix does it). The problem is, I've never done such a thing and I'm very new to this.
Has someone done this before? any pointers? any other solution that would be better? (i.e: I don't want to have to run a cronjob to create a log to then ingest that, it makes it difficult to distribute to all hosts)
thanks!
