PatchMon 2.1.4 adds Univention Corporate Server (UCS). Install the standard Linux agent and your UCS hosts appear with their release, patch level and errata level beside the rest of your fleet. Patch all runs Univention's own updater for the installed release, so release upgrades stay a deliberate decision in the Univention Management Console.
Read the UCS patching guideEverything you need to know, at a glance.
UCS hosts show up as Univention Corporate Server with release, patch level and errata level, for example 5.2-7 errata606. Pending errata updates are read through apt, so the counts in PatchMon match what the host reports.
Patch all runs univention-upgrade --noninteractive --disable-app-updates, with --updateto pinned to the installed release. It installs every erratum for the release you are on and clears the updates available notice in the Univention Management Console (UMC).
Choose individual packages and PatchMon upgrades only those, using apt-get --only-upgrade install. A dry run validates the selection before anything changes on the host.
Domain join status was unchanged after patching in our testing. Univention ships fixes as errata rather than through a Debian-style security repository, so PatchMon cannot tell which UCS updates are security fixes.
