Machine reports

Each machine running the Livepatch Client periodically checks in with its configured server. During this check-in, the machine queries for available patches and sends machine status information. For a full list of the information sent by clients, see the Livepatch Client data reference.

Enable machine reports

To enable machine reports and configure their retention period, see the machine reports configuration options in the Livepatch Server configuration reference.

Generate machine reports

Machine reports are generated using the Livepatch Admin Tool. See the admin tool setup guide for instructions on configuring the tool.

Generate a machine report by querying machines by their tier, last applied patch version, or patch state:

livepatch-admin report machines <tier> [<patch version> [<patch state>]]
