strongswan_sw-collector - Man Page

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.

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.

Apply command to installed software packages, only.

-r,  --removed

-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.

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
      }
   }
}
