Manage a Livepatch on-premises fleet

The Livepatch Server stores information about the status of machines attached to it. This information can be used to identify machines that failed to apply patches.

livepatch-admin report machines <tier> [<patch-version>] [<patch-state>]

The output of this command contains a list of machines, along with their machine IDs and additional information.

<patch-state> is one of:

• applied

• apply-failed

• unapplied

• needs-check

• nothing-to-apply

• unknown

• check-failed

• applied-with-bug

• Kernel-upgrade-required

The machine IDs correspond to unique Livepatch Clients. To associate each client system with its machine ID, run the following command on the client:

cat /etc/machine-id
