Host
The Host page shows information about
the host system, and allows you to shut down, restart, and connect
to the host.
You can perform the following actions on the host:
- Select Shut down to shut down the host
system.
- Select Restart to restart the host system.
- Select Connect to open a VNC connection
to the host system, if it is not already connected.
Click the following sections to display information about the host:
- Basic information
- This section displays the host operating system distribution,
version, and code name, as well as the processor type and amount of
memory in GB.
- System statistics
- This section displays graphs to show statistics for CPU, memory,
disk I/O, and network I/O for the host. Select Collecting
data after leaving this page to continue collecting data
when the host tab is out of view.
- Software Updates
- This section displays information for all of the packages that
have updates available, including package name, version, architecture,
and repository. You can update all of the packages listed by selecting Update
All. You cannot select individual packages for updates.
- Repositories
- This section displays repositories that are associated with the
host system. You can add, enable, edit, or remove repositories. Adding
a repository associates it with the host system while enabling a repository
allows the host to access it. If your system is Red Hat Enterprise
Linux or Fedora, you can add yum repositories.
If your system is Ubuntu or Debian, then add deb repositories.
If
you are working with yum repositories, you can add a GPG check to
verify that a package from this repository have not been corrupted.
Select a repository and then Edit. Select Yes to
enable GPG Check and then enter a URL to the GPG key file for the
repository.
- Debug reports
- This section displays debug reports, including name and file path.
You can select from options to generate a new report, or rename, remove,
or download an existing report.
The debug report is generated using
the sosreport command. It is available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora,
and Ubuntu distributions. The command generates a .tar file that contains
configuration and diagnostic information, such as the running kernel
version, loaded modules, and system and service configuration files.
The command also runs external programs to collect further information
and stores this output in the resulting archive.
