<title>XenServer Hotfix Notification</title>
<para>The Alerts area of the Dashboard in the &PRODUCT; UI shows notifications about new
Citrix XenServer software updates as they become available. In this way, administrators
can more easily be aware and take action when a hotfix is required to keep the XenServer
hypervisor hosts up to date. &PRODUCT; gives notification only for hotfixes that are
applicable to the XenServer software version currently running on hosts within the
cloud. Before generating the alert, &PRODUCT; checks to be sure the hotfix has not
already been installed.</para>
<para>In addition to the alert in the Dashboard, all hotfixes available for XenServer hosts
in the cloud are displayed under Events, when you open the Select View dropdown and
choose Host Updates. You can also see the hotfixes available for a given host when
you're viewing the host details (Infrastructure > Hosts > click host name), where you
will see the Updates tab. </para>
<para>You can get the same information about new XenServer hotfixes by calling these API
commands:</para>

have not been applied to a given host</para>

have not received a given patch</para>

<para>&PRODUCT; checks for new hotfixes once a week. It can be configured to check for
hotfixes more or less often through the global setting update.check.interval.</para>
<para>&PRODUCT; knows where to find the web-based Citrix feed for XenServer hotfix updates.
In the unlikely event that Citrix changes this URL, it can be configured through the
global setting xen.update.url. You can also turn off the hotfix notification feature
entirely using host.updates.enable.</para>
