Overview

The BigFix Patch for Open SUSE Leap 15 keeps your Linux™ clients current with the latest updates and service packs.

Patch management is available through the Patches for Open SUSE Leap 15 sites from BigFix. For each new patch or update that becomes available, BigFix releases a Fixlet that can identify and remediate all the computers in your enterprise that need it. With a few keystrokes, the BigFix Console Operator can apply the patch to all the relevant computers and visualize its progress as it deploys throughout the network.

The BigFix agent checks the operating system version, file versions, the language of the system and other relevant factors to determine when and if a patch is necessary.

Fixlets allow you to manage large numbers of updates and patches with comparative ease, enabling automated, highly targeted deployment on any schedule that you want. Large downloads can be phased to optimize network bandwidth and the entire deployment process can be monitored, graphed, and recorded for inventory or audit control. Fixlets often have extra notes that allow the Console Operator to work around issues. Once you have subscribed to the Patches for Open SUSE Leap 15 sites, you can do Patch using Fixlets.
