Data sent to Canonical serversΒΆ

Livepatch on-prem deployments periodically send requests to servers hosted by Canonical to check for the availability of new live kernel patches. These requests include the following information:

  • Unique ID of the deployment

  • Number of machines served by the deployment

Additional machine-level reporting can be enabled by setting the patch-sync.send-machine-reports configuration option. For example, using Juju:

juju config livepatch patch-sync.send-machine-reports=true

Enabling this setting allows Livepatch on-prem to send reports about the exact state of each machine served by the deployment.
