Description

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release. To expand on this, please see the attached screenshots for an example of this behaviour. We currently have multiple servers that have outstanding errata. The errata have been added into the content view and the content view has been published. Logging into the "Content Dashboard", there is no obvious indication that critical errata are available for hosts, see attachment dashboard.PNG. This shows a large green status indicator - which is actually for subscriptions rather than for the rather more important patch status. Scrolling down, we see an indicator box which is off the bottom of the screen (on a normal sized laptop). See attachment errata.PNG. This clearly shows that 24 Content Hosts have a security errata outstanding. Clicking on the first link one might reasonably expect to be taken to a screen where the 24 vulnerable hosts are listed, however this is not the case, instead we see the screen shown in attachment content.PNG. This screen is confusing. There are no references to any hosts or errata. On further investigation, it is simply the results of a content search indicating which content views contain this errata - this is not useful information, I just added the errata to the content views so I am well aware of this. Unless I am completely missing something, there is no clear way of seeing to which hosts the erratum is applicable, and from there, applying it. This is a serious regression from satellite 5 which made such operations simple and what is more, indicated the current patch state of hosts with clear colour-coded symbology. The current focus of katello seems to be on subscription status which is frankly of minor concern to customers in comparison to patch status. Created attachment 944891 [details]
