Hi All,
I am querying the API for a VPSC and getting an unexpected result. I have tried this on two VPSC systems and seen the same issue.
The API path I am querying is Software Packages and is documented here . . .
https://code.vmware.com/apis/60/vcenter-server-appliance-management#/health47softwarepackages32
According to the API specification, these are the values I should get . . .
"Get information on available software updates available in remote VUM repository. red indicates that security updates are available. orange indicates that non security updates are available. green indicates that there are no updates available. gray indicates that there was an error retreiving information on software updates"
We have not updated our VPSC since it was built in March 2018. I configured to check for automatic updates a few hours ago and it found a critical update is available. Described here . . .
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/rn/vsphere-vcenter-server-65u2d-release-notes.html#ful...
When I query the VPSC in the API I expect to get a return status of red.
VERBOSE: GET https://VPSCl/rest/appliance/health/software-packages with 0-byte payload
VERBOSE: received -1-byte response of content type application/json
green
I can also view this result on my vCenter/VPSC host in the API explorer Swagger UI here (it also returns green)
https:/VPSC/apiexplorer/#!/health_softwarepackages_/get_appliance_health_software_packages
I want to ask, is this a bug or am making the wrong API call to check for critical patches?
Thanks,
Michael
