Description of problem:

Customer is running Satellite 6.2 and would like to enable remote execution. However, customer wants to audit remote execution activity and needs to see this in a logfile somewhere. They need to see:

- Who ran a remote execution job
- What action they ran
- Where they ran it - which target hosts

/var/log/foreman/production.log shows what was ran and where it was run but it doesn't show who ran the job.

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

Satellite 6.2.x

How reproducible:  100%


Steps to Reproduce:

Execute any remote job and see the details being logged in to the production.log

Actual results:

Example from my test satellite instance shows the what and where but not the user (Run Uptime on test1.example.com)

Expected results:

Username which triggered remote execution job should be logged in to production.log

There is an API call which can be used to retrieve info about remote execution job. It contains user_id field:

]#  curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -k -u admin:xxx https://$(hostname -f)/api/v2/job_invocations/50 | json_reformat

                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
 
To get username for user_id 3 and check Login field:

# hammer user info --id 3
Id:                   3
Login:                admin
Name:                 Admin User
Email:                root

Or API call

# curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -k -u admin:xxx https://$(hostname -f)/api/v2/users/3 | json_reformat

We could use either 
# hammer user info --id X
or
# curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -k -u admin:xxx https://$(hostname -f)/api/v2/users/X | json_reformat

to add login field into parameters for the remote execution job to have the information which user was used to execute the remote job:
