Display needed updates for Linux endpoints

Usage and Config

Hi all

I’d like to see in the BigFix computer list (or an analysis) what updates my yum-based CentOS hosts are needing.

Would it be possible to create a custom retrieved properties field that would display the results of command “yum check-updates”? I think this is the only way to check the update status from RHEL-based distros.

Retrieved properties and analysis seem to be all using relevance, but this case would require an action script I think.

Any other ideas on how to follow update status for CentOS are also appreciated!
