Description Andreas Nilsson 2019-08-26 10:36:26 UTC

With Insights included by default in the RHEL subscription, a subscribed system that is not connected to Insights is not making full use of the value of their subscription. Not everyone is aware that Insights is included, and it would be desirable to highlight that your system is not making use of the full potential your subscription offer when you connect to a RHEL system.

Stef had the idea to highlight this via MOTD.

Comment 1 Andreas Nilsson 2019-08-26 10:37:16 UTC

Cockpit jira ticket https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/COCKPIT-474

Comment 2 Andreas Nilsson 2019-08-26 11:09:04 UTC

We also need some way to opt out of this message in case your organization never ever want their systems registered with Insights as a organization policy.

Comment 3 Stef Walter 2019-08-26 12:13:24 UTC

Possible implementation: https://github.com/RedHatInsights/insights-client/pull/85

Comment 4 Stef Walter 2019-08-26 12:14:18 UTC

The implementation includes an approach to be able to configure or remove the message. 

It is implemented via configuration file in /etc/insights-client/insights-client.motd
