https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-collect-output-from-quot-rpm-qa-list-quot-command-into/m-p/457587#M16052 <P>Hello!</P> <P>Looking to do some patch monitoring on our *nix boxes and find the "rpm -qa --list" command extremely useful. But struggling to find the best way to get this information into Splunk from all our forwarders. Can I have splunk run this command and ingest the output?</P> <P>Thought of using another tool to collect the output and store in DB somewhere, then use DB Connect to ingest, but was hoping to skip a step. Thoughts? Suggestions?</P> <P>Thanks everyone!</P> <P>(Splunk Enterprise 7.1 Deployment)</P> <P>Joe</P> Fri, 02 Nov 2018 15:04:36 GMT joesrepsol 2018-11-02T15:04:36Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-collect-output-from-quot-rpm-qa-list-quot-command-into/m-p/457587#M16052 <P>Hello!</P> <P>Looking to do some patch monitoring on our *nix boxes and find the "rpm -qa --list" command extremely useful.

Output is pretty basic.. 2 columns. If I could grab that output and throw into an index that would be awesome.</P> <P>Anymore help on how to do just that?</P> Fri, 02 Nov 2018 15:21:01 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-collect-output-from-quot-rpm-qa-list-quot-command-into/m-p/457589#M16054 joesrepsol 2018-11-02T15:21:01Z
