At the current pace of software buggery, it is looking like one of the best things I did last year was setup a proper server/software/asset inventory system
one honk maybe more

@alex Home made stuff, It's a crontab process on all servers that gathers stuff like: (A) Packages and then a WebUI that renders/searches all of this out, and tracks parts that have left servers (and are either in the ewaste or spares pile) Extremely non-exciting software Some of this was the response to various compliance requirements, YMMV
(B) OS Versions
(C) Firewall/NIC Config
(D) Hardware Inventory (RAM/Disks/Serial numbers)
(E) The same for the child LXCs
