NAME

       pro - Manage Ubuntu Pro services from Canonical

SYNOPSIS

       pro <command> [<args>]

DESCRIPTION

       Ubuntu  Pro  is  a collection of services offered by Canonical to Ubuntu users. The Ubuntu
       Pro command line tool is used to attach a system to an Ubuntu Pro contract to then  enable
       and  disable services from Canonical. The available commands and services are described in
       more detail below.

COMMANDS

api <api-endpoint>
Calls the Client API endpoints.

For a list of all of the supported endpoints and their structure, please refer to
the Pro client API reference guide:

https://canonical-ubuntu-pro-client.readthedocs-
hosted.com/en/latest/references/api/

attach [--no-auto-enable] [--attach-config=/path/to/file.yaml] <token>
Connect an Ubuntu Pro support contract to this machine.

The --attach-config option can be used to provide a file with the token and
optionally, a list of services to enable after attaching. The token parameter
should not be used if this option is provided. An attach config file looks like the
following:
token: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE # required
enable_services: # optional list of service names to auto-enable
- esm-infra
- esm-apps
- cis

The optional --no-auto-enable flag will disable the automatic enablement of
recommended entitlements which usually happens immediately after a successful
attach.

The exit code can be:
0: on successful attach
1: in case of any error while trying to attach
2: if the machine is already attached

collect-logs[-o<file>|--output<file>]
Create a tarball with all relevant logs and debug data.

The --output parameter defines the path to the tarball. If not provided, the file
is saved as pro_logs.tar.gz in the current directory.

config set/unset <config-name>

Set/unset one of the available Pro configuration settings:

http_proxy If set, pro will use the specified http proxy when making any http
requests

https_proxy If set, pro will use the specified https proxy when making any https
requests

apt_http_proxy [DEPRECATED] If set, pro will configure apt to use the specified
http proxy by writing a apt config file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage-
aptproxy. (Please use global_apt_http_proxy)

apt_https_proxy [DEPRECATED] If set, pro will configure apt to use the specified
https proxy by writing a apt config file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage-
aptproxy. (Please use global_apt_https_proxy)

global_apt_http_proxy If set, pro will configure apt to use the specified http
proxy by writing a apt config file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage-
aptproxy. Set this if you prefer a global proxy for all resources, not just the
ones from esm.ubuntu.com

global_apt_https_proxy If set, pro will configure apt to use the specified https
proxy by writing a apt config file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage-
aptproxy. Set this if you prefer a global proxy for all resources, not just the
ones from esm.ubuntu.com

ua_apt_http_proxy If set, pro will configure apt to use the specified http proxy by
writing a apt config file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage-aptproxy. This
proxy is limited to accessing resources from esm.ubuntu.com

ua_apt_https_proxy If set, pro will configure apt to use the specified https proxy
by writing a apt config file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage-aptproxy.
This proxy is limited to accessing resources from esm.ubuntu.com

<job_name>_timer Sets the timer running interval for a specific job. Those
intervals are checked every time the systemd timer runs.

apt_news If set to false, the Pro client will no longer display apt news messages
on the output of apt upgrade.

apt_news_url Sets the url where the Pro client will consume apt news information
from.

If needed, authentication to the proxy server can be performed by setting username
and password in the URL itself, as in:
http_proxy: http://<username>:<password>@<fqdn>:<port>

config show <config-name>
Show customizable configuration settings

If no config is provided, this command will display all of the Pro configuration
values

detach Remove the Ubuntu Pro support contract from this machine.

Disable this machine's access to an Ubuntu Pro service.

Activate and configure this machine's access to an Ubuntu Pro service.

fix [--dry-run] [--no-related] <security_issue>
Fix a CVE or USN on the system by upgrading the appropriate package(s).

The optional --dry-run flag will display everything that would be executed by the
fix command without actually making any changes.

The optional --no-related flag will modify how the fix command behaves when
handling a USN. With this flag, the command will not attempt to fix any USNs
related to the target USN.

<security_issue> can be any of the following formats: CVE-yyyy-nnnn, CVE-yyyy-
nnnnnnn, or USN-nnnn-dd.

The exit code can be 0, 1, or 2.
0: the fix was successfully applied or the security issue doesn't affect the
system
1: the fix cannot be applied
2: the fix was applied but requires a reboot before it takes effect

refresh [contract|config|messages]
Refresh three distinct Ubuntu Pro related artifacts in the system:

contract: Update contract details from the server.

config: Reload the config file.

messages: Update APT and MOTD messages related to UA.

You can individually target any of the three specific actions, by passing the
target name to the command. If no `target` is specified, all targets are
refreshed.

security-status [--thirdparty | --unavailable | --esm-infra | --esm-apps]

Show security updates for packages in the system, including all available Expanded
Security Maintenance (ESM) related content.

Shows counts of how many packages are supported for security updates in the system.

The output contains basic information about Ubuntu Pro. For a complete status on
Ubuntu Pro services, run 'pro status'.

The optional --thirdparty flag will only show information about third party
packages

The optional --unavailable flag will only show information about unavailable
packages

The optional --esm-infra flag will only show information about esm-infra packages

The optional --esm-apps flag will only show information about esm-apps packages

status [--simulate-with-token TOKEN] [--all]
Report current status of Ubuntu Pro services on system.

This shows whether this machine is attached to an Ubuntu Pro support contract. When
attached, the report includes the specific support contract details including
contract name, expiry dates, and the status of each service on this system.

The attached status output has four columns:

SERVICE: name of the service

ENTITLED: whether the contract to which this machine is attached entitles use of
this service. Possible values are: yes or no

STATUS: whether the service is enabled on this machine. Possible values are:
enabled, disabled, n/a (if your contract entitles you to the service, but it isn't
available for this machine) or — (if you aren't entitled to this service)

DESCRIPTION: a brief description of the service

The unattached status output instead has three columns. SERVICE and DESCRIPTION are
the same as above, and there is the addition of:

AVAILABLE: whether this service would be available if this machine were attached.
The possible values are yes or no.

If --simulate-with-token is used, then the output has five columns. SERVICE,
AVAILABLE, ENTITLED and DESCRIPTION are the same as mentioned above, and
AUTO_ENABLED shows whether the service is set to be enabled when that token is
attached.

If the --all flag is set, unavailable services are also listed in the output.

system reboot-required
Tells if the system needs to be rebooted

version
Show version of the Ubuntu Pro package.

PRO UPGRADE DAEMON

       Ubuntu Pro client sets up a daemon on supported platforms (currently on Azure and GCP)  to
       detect  if an Ubuntu Pro license is purchased for the machine. If an Ubuntu Pro license is
       detected, then the machine is automatically attached.  If you are uninterested  in  Ubuntu
       Pro services, you can safely stop and disable the daemon using systemctl:

       sudo    systemctl   stop   ubuntu-advantage.service   sudo   systemctl   disable   ubuntu-
       advantage.service

TIMER JOBS

       Ubuntu Pro client sets  up  a  systemd  timer  to  run  jobs  that  need  to  be  executed
       recurrently.  The  timer  itself  ticks every 5 minutes on average, and decides which jobs
       need to be executed based on their intervals.

       Jobs are executed by the timer script if the script has not yet run successfully, or their
       interval  since  last successful run is already exceeded.  There is a random delay applied
       to the timer, to desynchronize job execution time on machines spinned at  the  same  time,
       avoiding multiple synchronized calls to the same service.

       Current jobs being checked and executed are:

       update_messaging
              Makes  sure  that the MOTD and APT messages match the available/enabled services on
              the system, showing information about available packages or security updates.

       metering
              If attached, this job will ping the Canonical servers telling  which  services  are
              enabled on the machine.

SERVICES
