Plugins validation

Hi,

We have many plugins installed in the instance across multiple modules (ITSM, CSM, ham, sam, GRc.. etc). How can we track what is the current version of this plugins and what will be the latest version. Is there a way we can compare instead of manually checking each plugins.

everything is shown in plugins module

It shows what's your current version and what's the next version available to update based on compatibility

It also shows Update available for which of your installed plugins

When you click that plugin it tells what's current version in your instance, which is the latest version available for you and the compatibility

Ya, i know how to check current plugin version and the latest version. My concern is i dont want to go and check each plugin manually. If there are 100 plugins, how can i compare the versions. Is there any best approach i can have a dashboard or report to validate in a one go for all plugins.

Hi @ramesham 

 

You can go to sys plugins tables and in list view you can add the required fields. Along these have a look on these tables

 

 

The following tables are helpful to get information about plugins:

 

sys_plugins

v_plugin

sys_plugin_log

syslog_transaction

sys_package

sys_progress_worker

I believe this should answer your question

for store app the table is "sys_store_app". here you can check installed and latest version

for plugins, you can check sys_plugins table, it shows installed/current version but not shows Latest version
