Description Anisha Narang 2015-12-11 05:16:26 EST

Description of problem:
When we register a RHEL7 machine to Insights service, it does not show up under RHI> Systems in CFME.
For a rhel6 machine, that works well.
There is a difference in the machine-id generation by RHEL6 and RHEL7 and we require to add code to handle that properly in CFME for rhel7.

Fore reference:
RHEL7:
[root@dhcp10 ~]# cat /etc/machine-id
f37407eae3e44d33abcca9391fcb843f
[root@dhcp10 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id
f37407eae3e44d33abcca9391fcb843f

RHEL6:
[root@cfmetestrhel6 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id
f957cc10-ed72-4b70-a409-072a0d93fb59

You can see the difference above in the machine-id format for rhel6 and rhel7.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to CFME, and make proper configurations with Red Hat Updates and VMs.
2. Register a RHEL 7 machine to Insights service.
3. CFME > Infrastructure > Virtual Machines> Select the registered VM and run 'Perfrom Smart State Analysis'
4. Go to Red Hat Insights > Systems.
You shall find the registered system under the list of systems, but rhel7 systems do not appear currently.


Actual results:
The rhel7 systems do not appear listed under RHI> Systems in CFME

Expected results:
RHEL 7 systems should appear in the list under RHI> Systems in CFME after being registered to Insights service.

Comment 2 Vadim Rutkovsky 2016-02-15 09:14:18 EST

Workaround: run 'redhat-access-insights --force-reregister'

Comment 3 Lindani Phiri 2016-03-08 10:39:20 EST

Fixed.

Comment 4 ldomb 2016-03-23 09:05:05 EDT

This does not seem fixed it for me. 

2. My EVM is registered via subscription manager (not satellite6) and has the status  Subscribed / Last Message Registered

3. The default profile for the smart state analysis has /etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id -> true

4. Provider refresh for RHEV so that it discovers the 2 vm's

5. I yum removed the redhat-access-insights package and rm -rf /etc/redhat/access-insights on the vm's

6. I installed redhat-access-insights on the RHEL7 vm's and registered with redhat-access-insights --force-reregister

(the vm's are registered with the same rhn user as the cfme appliance)

7. The ID of look like this 1d1d6d48-1250-4b1e-8b20-0362140ee4b3 and abdab4e5-b992-4b7e-92bb-6f9ce8e549f3 (looks like the right format to me)

8. Run a smart state analysis on the machine successfully and see that the file was indexed.

9. Click on the Insight tab in CFME. still no data

Comment 6 Lindani Phiri 2016-03-23 20:47:05 EDT

The issue seen by Laurent is unrelated to this bug, even though the symptoms are similar.  A change in the external Insights API was made that broke backwards compatibility.  Once the API is fixed Laurent's issue should disappear without any changes to the CFME appliance.

Comment 7 Satyajit Bulage 2016-05-27 05:59:15 EDT

Both rhel6 and rhel7 machines are appearing in RHI> Systems tab.
machine-id for both the systems are in the same format as follows:

For rhel6 machine:
cat /etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id
9492cda7-6427-4dfb-8f29-6caa41fcfa87

For rhel7 machine:
cat /etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id
9db21438-92d9-4ecf-a22a-e7b4674fe7d6
