Description Diego Fernandez 2017-02-22 18:33:06 UTC

I'm creating independent requests for RHEL 6 and RHEL 7

I'm in the CEE Analytics team and we often get requests about system locales. This data is important in order to know how to prioritize localization efforts. I've done some analysis in the past looking at SOS Reports[1], but this is a very limited data set and is likely to be a skewed representation of our real distributions. If we could have systems report back their locale into the consumer facts, we could get some interesting insight into usage, especially by combining it with the installed products.

Demonstrating that with older subscription-manager versions on RHEL73  the fact "system.default_locale" was not available 

[root@dhcp35-220 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.17.15-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.17.9-1.el7


[root@dhcp35-220 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep system.default_locale

^^ no results found

With latest subscription-manager build for RHEL74 , the fact "system.default_locale" is available and is displaying the correct value

# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.12-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.6-1.el7

# subscription-manager facts --list | grep system.default_locale
system.default_locale: en_US.UTF-8

Based on the above observations, Marking this bug as verified!!

Sweet! I already see some data in Candlepin:

SELECT f.element,
       count(DISTINCT f.cp_consumer_id)
FROM cp_consumer_facts f
WHERE mapkey = "system.default_locale"
GROUP BY f.element;

element     |count(DISTINCT f.cp_consumer_id) |
------------|---------------------------------|
en_US.UTF-8 |460                              |
