Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ohad Levy 2014-11-18 08:17:28 UTC 
I dont think it makes any sense to enable it by default, as its only used by discovery, for the rest it could be considered security concern?

also, a configuration file template is missing?

Comment 8 Sachin Ghai 2015-03-11 10:57:12 UTC 
Verified with:
sat6.1 beta snap5
Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-7-20150303.0


By default, its set to false. 

--
[root@dhcp201-171 settings.d]# cat /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/facts.yml 
---
:enabled: false
--
Comment 9 Sachin Ghai 2015-03-11 11:00:40 UTC 
Hey Orabin.. Could you please confirm if anything else QE needs to check ?
Comment 10 orabin 2015-03-15 09:19:42 UTC 
I would also do this:

1. start the smart-proxy (without changing the config file)
2. add the smart-proxy to foreman
3. check that 'facts' feature is not in the list of features

This should be enough but you can also add:

4. change the configuration to:
---
:enabled: true
--
5. restart the proxy
6. refresh features of the proxy
7. check that facts is now one of the features
Comment 11 Sachin Ghai 2015-03-16 06:33:54 UTC 
Verified with: 
sat6.1 beta snap6 compose2 (Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-6-20150311.1).

By default facts feature set to false.

--
# cat /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/facts.yml 

:enabled: false

--

Restarted the foreman-proxy service, and UI doesn't show the facts features on refreshing features.

later, I enabled the facts feature if it works and on enabling it I can see it on UI.
