Included Resources

The results of the systemPackages collector are stored in the host-collectors/system directory of the support bundle.

[collector-name].json

If the collectorName field is unset, it will be named packages.json.

Example of the resulting JSON file:

System Packages Analyzer

The systemPackages analyzer is used to analyze information about the collected packages. For example, the analyzer can check whether a certain package is installed, if the version of a package is greater than or equal to a certain version, and more. The analyzer also supports template functions to help customize the outcomes as desired.

Some of the fields that are accessible using template functions are detailed in the following JSON object:

{
  "OS": "ubuntu",
  "OSVersion": "18.04",
  "OSVersionMajor": "18",
  "OSVersionMinor": "4",
  "Name": "openssl",
  "Error": "",
  "ExitCode": "0",
  "IsInstalled": true,
}

The analyzer also has access to the fields in the details field for a package from the collector. For example, in the details field in the collector output above, you can reference the Version field with {{ .Version }}.
