+ <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>

+ <para><emphasis role="bold">listHostUpdates</emphasis>—Tells which patches have and
+ have not been applied to a given host</para>

+ <para><emphasis role="bold">listHostsWithPendingUpdates</emphasis>—Tells which hosts
+ have not received a given patch</para>

+ </itemizedlist>
+ <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>
