GravityZone V6.63 - Patch scan for Linux?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello, I am using a trial of GravityZone V6.63, and testing out the platform. I can find how to run a "Patch Scan" for Windows/10/11 hosts(clients), but this option is greyed out for Linux (Debian) hosts. Does anyone know if there is a way to scan for patches/package updates on Linux hosts through GZ?

I've tried googling, and looking through the forum/help files, but I haven't been able to find any new information yet - please let me know if I've missed a FAQ, or a knowledge article.

Hello @abits ,

As per our documentation Patch Management is not available for Debian Linux distribution, so Patch Scan will not be available for these endpoints. The list of compatible OS systems is available here: https://www.bitdefender.com/business/support/en/77212-376345-patch-management.html#UUID-fe9d74a5-61f5-9db8-8163-8b35ab37d491

Kind Regards,

Hi Andrei,

Thank you very much for the reply, and pointing me towards the help article - I now see that I'll need to use RHEL/CentOS/SuSE with Patch Management.

If you can, I have two other questions:

I did not see other RHEL distros/derivatives like Rocky Linux or Oracle Linux listed as compatible - does Patch Management work on these distributions too?
Do you happen to know if there is a feature roadmap for Patch Management, or a timeline when Debian distros may be added/included with the Patch Management feature?

Thank you!
