Description Peter Ondrejka 2016-09-05 10:15:35 UTC
Section on remote execution (currently chapter 11), does not explain the page under Administer > Remote Execution Features. At this page, you can assign custom job templates to Katello actions.

A small note about this in upstream docs

Hello

As chapter numbers can change, current chapter 11 is called "Running Remote Jobs on Satellite Hosts"


there seems to be some overlap with BZ#1323658 I think

Hello Peter

For comment 0, see this text:

"By default, Satellite Server is configured to use remote execution rather than Katello Agent. If required, these settings scan be changed by first creating custom job templates and then selecting these new templates in the web UI by going to Administer → Remote Execution Features. For each action you want to change, select the label and then select the job template to use.
