Description Roy Williams 2015-07-01 12:29:20 UTC

Description of problem:
Subscription manifest should provide notification to the user in Satellite 6 to indicate a manifest expiration is coming, up to a month before it actually occurs. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.0.8 and 6.1.0

When subscription manifest expire there is no indication that has happened through out the interface.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2015-07-01 12:45:28 UTC

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Comment 3 Devan Goodwin 2015-08-13 12:35:53 UTC

Moving to Satellite web UI. 

For clarity the manifest won't expire, but some subscriptions within it might. Data on subscriptions and their expiration is available in candlepin API, Satellite would just need to figure out when to check and how to display it.

If you'd like any API enhancements to do so just let us know.

There is dashboard element called "Current Subscription Totals" which shows the current susbcriptions, those that expire in 120 days, and recently expireed. Is that not acceptable?

I apologize for the lack of response, I no longer work for the university where I was using this. Anyway the issue was the subscription expired in Satellite 6 and we had no way of knowing that had happened, until the hosts all lost their subscriptions. Although I imagine a lot has been fixed by now, at the time the connected hosts lost their entitlements as expected. Although we didn't get any kind of notification from Satellite 6 that this was about to happen. I did attempt to modify the entitlements with new ones, but that didn't resolve the machines that had totally lost their entitlements to the repositories. 

I was forced to reinstall the katello consumer for the machines that were using Satellite 6 to get their updates to resolve it. 

I initially thought it was the manifest itself expiring, but from RHN, the place I retrieved the manifest, it seemed to appear that the entitlements associated with the manifest would expire. That's the way it appeared to me.
