The System Status Area

The System Status Area
	Chapter 3. WebYaST Control Panel

The overall status of the system is indicated by the big circle in the left. This circle integrates the status information from the two main sections to the right (the circle is green if both sections are green):

System status

The left indicator shows the health of the system. If it is green, the system is healthy. The health information is determined by data from the Status module and the user-defined limits set there. For more information about the Status module, see the section called “Monitoring System Status”.

System Updates

The right indicator shows the status of system updates. If it is green, the system is up to date and no action is necessary. If updates are available for installation, the indicator turns red.

To install available updates, click the link showing information about the updates to start the WebYaST Updates module. With this module, you can see the list of available updates and choose which updates to install. For more information about the Updates module, see the section called “Managing System Updates”.

Both fields are periodically updated. The default update interval is 5 minutes.
