Bug 1395471

1. Proposed title of this feature request  
Include a Host reboot required indication in Satellite 6

2. Who is the customer behind the request?  
  Account: #676102 Australian Signals Directorate
  TAM customer: yes
  SRM customer: yes
  Strategic: yes

3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Satellite 5 has the feature of displaying all Systems that required a reboot and also had a reboot indication on the System's DashBoard. 

Satellite 6 currently includes a number of Hosts Health indications:
a. Green Tick;
b. Amber Exclamation Mark; and
c. Red Cross.

Request that an additional feature be added to  in Satellite 6
so to include which subscribed Hosts require a reboot and also have an indication on the Hosts Dashboard

4. Why does the customer need this?

The level of technical knowledge of personnel accessing a number of environments within the Customer base may not be aware of when Linux Systems require reboot (kernel update, system library updates). 

Also, when updating a high number of Hosts, Customer may not be fully aware of which machine require a reboot if there was a mixture of varying RHEL releases or varying functionalities of each Host.


5. How would the customer like to achieve this?
Have an indication similar to Satellite 5 that provides the user an indication that a reboot is required on 

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Customer is happy to partake in hot fixes for testing purposes.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  
Bugzilla: Nil known

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  
Satellite 6.4 would be a realistic release.

it is believed that this would be a feature that would also benefit other Customers as well and isn't specific to simply this Customer.
