Description Shimon Shtein 2023-02-06 13:59:40 UTC

Description of problem:

The only mention of host_registration_insights parameter is in upstream:
https://docs.theforeman.org/nightly/Managing_Hosts/index-katello.html#Customizing_the_Registration_Templates_managing-hosts

We should add a mention that the parameter type is boolean.

While we are there, we should also mention that the same parameter also prevents hosts from appearing in rh_cloud reports if the parameter is set to false. Another usage of the parameter is to prevent insights-client from uploading its reports in case the parameter is set to false.

Comment 2 Peter Vreman 2023-02-06 19:10:42 UTC

The documentation in the registration templates section is not a correct place.  It is a generic host parameter settings that is always application for everybody that does not want that Sat6 is uploading hosts to c.r.c

Maybe the word parameter is even incorrect and it is a real host/hostgroup configuration that affects multiple (daily) workflows:
- daily sat6 inventory upload
- block insights-client connections

Maybe a real host/hostgroup record configuration setting instead of a template parameter is better applicable here
