Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description Kathryn Dixon 2016-12-24 21:47:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

When viewing the rhsm.log after setting up virt-who, it would be helpful to see where the host-to-guest mapping is reporting to. Even if it just took the output from the owner= in the virt-who config file. Which could be either /etc/virt-who.d/config or /etc/sysconfig/virt-who

This is what we see now..

2016-10-26 15:02:26,930 [INFO]  @subscriptionmanager.py:165 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping: 

If that could show something like this..

2016-10-26 15:02:26,930 [INFO]  @subscriptionmanager.py:165 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping to Default_Organization:

then we could see without the config file where the config is pointed to.

The /etc/virt-who.d/config - Does not come in a sosreport currently.

This would also help us if multiple vcenters are involved ( which is very common). 

Can help to verify quickly that the owner= is incorrect in the config without having to ask for it.

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


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and configure virt-who
2. view the rhsm.log for information/troubleshooting why hosts are not showing up in the portal/satellite6 depending on environment

Actual results: does not give us enough information to see where the hosts should be showing up ie portal or satellite

Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping

Expected results: Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping to Default_Organization <---
