Check rhel-version
Overview
This plugin lets you track if RHEL (and compatible) is End-of-Life (EOL). To compare against the current/installed version of RHEL, the check has to run on the RHEL server itself.
Note:
Also works for Alma, CentOS, CentOS Stream, Oracle, Rocky, etc., but (currently) reports the EOL date for RHEL.
Doesn’t work on Fedora Workstation or Fedora Server (actually: works, but can’t report EOL here).
