Check qts-version

Overview

This plugin lets you track if a QTS update is available. To check for updates, this plugin requests the in-built update check of the appliance.

Hints and Recommendations:

  • Tested on QuTScloud v4.5.6+
  • Does not work on QTS 4.3 or less (see #701 for details).
  • The user used for monitoring must be a member of the "administrators" group. It is not sufficient to be a member of the "everyone" group.
