description:
 This check checks for available updates via {zypper} and SLES
 and OPENSUSE distributions. You need to install the plugin {mk_zypper}
 into the {plugins} directory of your agent.

 The check gets critical if there are security updates available.
 It gets warning, if there are other updates available or if package
 locks exist (created by {zypper addlock}).

inventory:
 One service will be created for each system where the {mk_zypper}
 plugin produces a non-empty output.
