Cool.
But unfortunately Rocky Linux is not supported.
CentOS is dead in enterprise. Please support also Rocky.

{ "plugin_version": 1, "heartbeat_required": true, "units": {}, "msg": "Rocky Linux not supported", "status": 0, "applog": { "logs_enabled": true, "log_type_name": "Linux Pending Updates", "log_file_path": "/opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/check_updates/updates_list*.txt" } }

Thanks and kind regards,

Torsten

solved for me. Added "Rocky Linux".
The Logfile Path is also wrong in the script.
Please change it to /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/linux_security_updates/updates_list*.txt instead of /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/check_updates/updates_list*.txt
