Description Sayan Das 2021-08-18 05:52:52 UTC

Document URL:

Since there is no doc present for 6.10 yet, I am referring to the section from the 6.9 docs only.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.9/html-single/managing_hosts/index#using_report_templates

Section Number and Name:

Chapter 8. Using Report Templates to Monitor Hosts

Describe the issue:

In every new release of Satellite 6, we introduce one or two new report templates but we don't document their use cases anywhere.

Suggestions for improvement:

Satellite 6.10 ships following report templates.

Ansible - Ansible Inventory
Host - Applicable Errata
Host - Applied Errata
Host - compare content hosts packages
Host - Last Checkin
Host - Registered Content Hosts
Host - Statuses
Host - Vulnerabilities
Jobs - Invocation report template
Subscription - Entitlement Report
Subscription - General Report
User - Registered Users

* Please create a section to describe the purpose and use cases of these report templates. One of two lines of short description should be just fine but at least have this documented.

* Also, if some reports specifically rely on some sort of satellite-based actions. Please document the same.

e.g. To be able to work with "Host - Applied Errata", one needs to apply ERRATA using Satellite's REX\katello-agent feature only.

Additional information:

I will recommend connecting with concerned members from the engineering team and have it discussed.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Comment 4 Brad Buckingham 2023-06-13 00:19:10 UTC

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
