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.

Assigning to Lucie for review.

Lucie - the attached engineering bug and its associated Foreman tracker have not progressed in some time, so taking Russell's advice, let's add this to the documentation and come back when and if the new functionality has been implemented.

What it looks like we'll need to do is add a section near "⁠5.1.4. Configuring Email Notifications" in the Server Administration Guide on how to manually trigger email notifications that outlines the above steps.
Comment 9 Lucie Jirakova 2017-05-31 10:22:50 UTC 
The new section "Testing Email Notifications" in Server Administration Guide is now live on Portal:
