Question

linux

It is necessary to collect information about the versions of installed applications on the host in one place.
Is it possible to connect remotely to the database and retrieve values ​​from it?
While using bash
ssh hostname 'rpm -qa | grep appname'

Answer 1

No.
To execute scripts on a pool of remote machines, it is better to use special software (which partially works through the same SSH).
A simple option is to use fabric
. A more complex one is to collect information through ansible or saltstack.
