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 Fred van Zwieten 2015-01-31 07:08:17 UTC
Description of problem:
Satellite has two concepts of Hosts: "Host" from the POV of provisioning and configuration management (The Foreman Host) and "Content Host" from the POV of content management (The Katello Host). Although I understand how this came to be, it is hugely confusing for customers. I propose to merge both concepts into a single: the "Host". Just abstract it away in the Web GUI (single menu entry) in Hammer, and in the API (no 2 separate entry points in V3, just /api) 

Also, the different menu items under the main menu "Hosts" is confusing:
- "All Hosts" is Foreman POV,
- "Content Hosts" is Katello POV.
- "Host Collections" is Katello POV.
- "Discovered Hosts" is Foreman POV
- "New Host" is Foreman POV

Also, both Content Host and Host, as entities, have "facts". The "Host" entity has the facts delivered by Puppet and the "Content Host" has "facts" delivered by the katello agent. There should be one set of "facts".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Look at main menu "Hosts". It's got "All Hosts" and "Content Hosts"
Look at the details of a "Content Host" and look at the facts of the accompanying "Host"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse around in both Hosts  and Content Hosts
2.
3.

Actual results:
Content Hosts
Hosts

Expected results:
Hosts

Additional info:
I am sure there must already be a BZ about this somewhere, I just can't find it.
