NAME

sw-collector - Extracts software installation events from dpkg history log

SYNOPSIS

[ --debug level ] [ --quiet ] [ --count event-count ] [ --debug level ] [ --quiet ] [ --installed|--removed ] --list|--unregistered [ --debug level ] [ --quiet ] [ --installed|--removed ] [ --full ] --generate [ --debug level ] [ --quiet ] --migrate [ --debug level ] [ --quiet ] --check -h | --help

DESCRIPTION

sw-collector extracts information about software package installation, update or removal events from the apt history log and stores the software events in an SQLite database. The retrieved history information is then merged and made consistent with the actual list of installed software packages obtained with dpkg-query.

OPTIONS

-h, --help: Prints usage information and a short summary of the available commands.
-v, --debug level: Set debug level, default: 2.
-q, --quiet: Disable debug output to stderr.
-i, --installed: Apply command to installed software packages, only.
-r, --removed: Apply command to removed software packages, only.
-f, --full: Generate ISO 19770-2:2015 SWID tags with full file information (possible for installed software packages, only).
-l, --list: Lists all software packages stored in the collector database showing their installation status.
-u, --unregistered: Lists all software packages residing in the local collector database but for which no SWID tags exist yet in a central collector database reachable via a REST interface.
-g, --generate: Generates ISO 19770-2:2015 SWID tags for all software packages residing in the local collector database but for which no SWID tags exist in a central collector database reachable via a REST interface.
-m, --migrate: Can be used to migrate collector database versions. Currently all architecture suffixes are removed from dpkg package names.
-C, --check: Checks the integrity of the collector database against the actual list of installed packages obtained with dpkg-query.

CONFIGURATION

The following parameters can be configured in strongswan.conf:

sw-collector {
    database = sqlite:///etc/pts/collector.db
    history = /var/log/apt/history.log
    first_time = 2016-04-22T20:55:14Z
    rest_api {
       uri = https://admin-user:ietf99hackathon@tnc.strongswan.org/api/
       timeout = 120
    }
}

The parameters of the swid_generator used with the --generate command can be changed in the libimcv section of strongswan.conf:

libimcv {
    swid_gen {
       command = /usr/local/bin/swid_generator
       tag_creator {
          name = strongSwan Project
          regid = strongswan.org
       }
    }
}
