Get Info

Requirements

Linux Control Center version 2.10.X or higher

Overview

The Get Info action is a key function within the system, responsible for retrieving general information from hosts and storing it in the LCC console. This action is essential to ensure that machine data remains current and accurate.

The Get Info action runs in a chained manner. This means that whenever an action that modifies the host’s operating system configuration is executed (such as installing a package), the Get Info action automatically runs right after the previous action is completed. This ensures that the information displayed in the LCC remains reliable and up-to-date. As a result, the integrity and accuracy of the LCC’s data are maintained.
