RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 Diego Fernandez 2017-02-22 18:33:06 UTC 
I'm creating independent requests for RHEL 6 and RHEL 7

I'm in the CEE Analytics team and we often get requests about system locales. This data is important in order to know how to prioritize localization efforts. I've done some analysis in the past looking at SOS Reports[1], but this is a very limited data set and is likely to be a skewed representation of our real distributions. If we could have systems report back their locale into the consumer facts, we could get some interesting insight into usage, especially by combining it with the installed products.

Comment 5 Rehana 2017-05-09 09:18:58 UTC 
Demonstrating that with older subscription-manager versions on RHEL73  the fact "system.default_locale" was not available 

[root@dhcp35-220 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.17.15-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.17.9-1.el7


[root@dhcp35-220 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep system.default_locale

^^ no results found

With latest subscription-manager build for RHEL74 , the fact "system.default_locale" is available and is displaying the correct value

# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.12-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.6-1.el7

# subscription-manager facts --list | grep system.default_locale
system.default_locale: en_US.UTF-8

Based on the above observations, Marking this bug as verified!!

Sweet! I already see some data in Candlepin:

SELECT f.element,
       count(DISTINCT f.cp_consumer_id)
FROM cp_consumer_facts f
WHERE mapkey = "system.default_locale"
GROUP BY f.element;

element     |count(DISTINCT f.cp_consumer_id) |
------------|---------------------------------|
