OSMH: Available ELSA/ELBA or Updates Missing From a Managed Instance

Applies To:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
OS Management Hub(OSMH)

Symptoms:

The available ELSA/ELBA or Updates are missing from an OSMH Managed Instance

Cause:

The exclude directives in /etc/yum.conf suppress OSMH reporting errata for excluded packages.

Using the exclude option as below means the OSMH agent won't gather or report information about any kernel updates, errata, etc. This percolates into the instance's Updates and Vulnerability report pages as well as compartment-level Reports.

$ cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]

Howdy, Stranger!
