1. Predefined task bunches
The following predefined task bunches are scheduled by default and can be configured:
- auto-errata-default
-
Schedules auto errata updates as necessary.
- channel-repodata-default
-
(Re)generates repository metadata files.
- cleanup-data-default
-
Cleans up stale package change log and monitoring time series data from the database.
- clear-taskologs-default
-
Clears task engine (taskomatic) history data older than a specified number of days, depending on the job type, from the database.
- cobbler-sync-default
-
Synchronizes distribution and profile data from Uyuni to Cobbler. For more information about autoinstallation powered by Cobbler, see Operating System Installation.
- compare-configs-default
-
Compares configuration files as stored in configuration channels with the files stored on all configuration-enabled servers. To review comparisons, click Systems tab and select the system of interest. Go to . For more information, see reference:systems/system-details/sd-configuration.adoc#sd-config-compare-files.
- cve-server-channels-default
-
Updates internal pre-computed CVE data that is used to display results on the page. Search results in the page are updated to the last run of this schedule. For more information, see CVE Audit.
- daily-status-default
-
Sends daily report e-mails to relevant addresses. For more information about configuring notifications for specific users, see User Details.
- errata-cache-default
-
Updates internal patch cache database tables, which are used to look up packages that need updates for each server. Also, this sends notification emails to users that might be interested in certain patches. For more information about patches, see Patches Menu.
- errata-queue-default
-
Queues automatic updates (patches) for servers that are configured to receive them.
- gatherer-matcher-default
-

- kickstart-cleanup-default
-
Cleans up stale Kickstart session data.
- kickstartfile-sync-default
-
Generates Cobbler files corresponding to Kickstart profiles created by the configuration wizard.
- mgr-forward-registration-default
-
Synchronizes client registration data with SUSE Customer Center. By default, new, changed, or deleted client data are forwarded. To disable synchronization set in
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf, run:server.susemanager.forward_registration = 0
Disabling data synchronizing with SCC will lead to reduced visibility of your managed clients between RMT, SMT, Uyuni and SCC-directly registered clients.
By synchronizing data, you ensure a uniform view of all registered clients.
- mgr-sync-refresh-default
-
Synchronizes with SUSE Customer Center (
mgr-sync-refresh). By default, all custom channels are also synchronized as part of this task. For more information about custom channel synchronization, see administration:custom-channels.adoc#_custom_channel_synchronization. - minion-action-chain-cleanup-default
-
