Description Rich Jerrido 2017-12-20 00:58:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

Subscription-manager should report uptime or last booted time as a system fact. As a user of subscription-manager, having the uptime or last booted time as a system fact allows me to identify (along with the last check-in time) how long as system has been online. 

ideally, this would be set via rhsmcertd on daemon startup.
Comment 3 Kevin Howell 2018-02-22 15:35:26 UTC 
Dev: in order to reduce fact change, we can just report "last booted time" a la `uptime -s`.
