Update status aggregator

avoine - March 5, 2008 - 17:48

Update status aggregator is comprised of two components: a "client" module and a "server" module.

The client (update_status_notifier.module), to be enabled on all sites that are to report to the central tracker, sends a list of installed modules and their status to the tracking site via xmlrpc when cron is run. This information is taken from the update status module.

The server component (update_status_aggregator.module), to be enabled on the tracking site only, receives these lists from all the clients and creates nodes for each module on each site. These nodes subsequently get updated everytime the cron is run on the tracked sites. For the tracked sites to have the right to create these nodes, the keys of the tracked sites need to be entered into the tracker site.

This also comes with a pre-packaged view (Views modules required) listing all the nodes created that allows one to filter the resulting list of node by site, by status and/or by module.
