We currently get this status directly from subscription-manager. [1] "Current" implies that the system is not just registered, but has active (current) subscriptions. Can you please verify that the status in Cockpit matches the output of "subscription-manager status"? If not, it's an actual bug - otherwise an RFE for possible clarification. [1] "subscription-manager status" https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/pkg/subscriptions/subscriptions-client.js#L363 (In reply to Dominik Perpeet from comment #3) > We currently get this status directly from subscription-manager.

Considering the output of Cockpit matches that of the underlying technology (subscription manager), I don't think this is a Cockpit bug. You can request for a change in subscription manager or we can see if there is a way to add an explanation. Considering the sheer number of possible system states in subscription manager and the fact that decoupling the Cockpit display from subscription manager's output introduces a point of potential failure, changing this is not as trivial as it might appear initially. From Cockpit's perspective we'll treat this as an RFE for a design to supplemene subscription manager's output. In RHEL 8 cockpit-subscriptions will be dropped in favor of subscription-manager-cockpit (it's already available in RHEL 7.5), so we most likely won't work on this any more unless there is some urgency. As changing this string will also break all translations, I suggest not changing this for 7.x any more. Please reopen if you disagree. |
