Create an Application Snapshot for an Agent or a Tag ( Applications installed at this time ) #85

Open linuxdynasty opened 10 years ago

Application Snapshot = Is a list of applications that are installed at the moment the snapshot was taken.

Example: You have agent Foo and agent Foo has 200 applications installed. You now create an application snapshot of that agent. This snapshot can now be applied to numerous Agents or Tags( same os and architecture of course )

Caveat: If the agent you are trying to apply the snapshot too, has packages that are more up2date than the packages that are currently installed, than it will not work.

I would like to have a Tab in the GUI called Packet Profiles or sth. like this, where I can create Profiles with "some" Packages and associate them to servers via Tags and separate status of "Test" and "Productive". New server, which are associated with these tags, (automatically) install these packages. Crossover, a "Patch now" function in the agent tab would be nice. I select X server, click "Patch now" and can choose single packages, package profiles, or packages associated with categories (e.g. critical) .
