We're trying to use the diff command in the UNIX app to monitor changes to a system's installed packages. I need help creating a query / report that would run daily to monitor changes on different systems' package lists.
You could create a simple shell script that runs rpm -qa
or dpkg --get-selections
or any other preferred way of listing installed packages, and set the script up as a scripted input. Then you can run the | diff
command on the data that is indexed to see changes.
