CentOS - Apr 2010 - Looking for an application that simplifies tracking installed packages.

Hi,

As the number of hosts increases, it's getting harder to keep track of what
packages have been installed on each host using yum or rpm.
So I am wondering if there's an existing application that helps you keep
track of what packages installed on each host.  Thanks.

rpm -qa will give you the current list.  If you want a central inventory 
that stays updated automatically, you might like ocsinventory-ng (the 
server is packaged at http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en, the 
agent is available in epel).

The Spacewalk project should do what you want...
