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.

*virt-who* now provides configuration error information The *virt-who* utility now checks for common *virt-who* configuration errors and outputs log messages that specify the configuration items that caused these errors. As a result, it is easier for a user to correct *virt-who* configuration errors.

Comment 2 Kevin Howell 2017-03-30 15:02:46 UTC 
Eko, can you please attach the config files used?
Please tell us which values in the config you believe should cause an error?
What error message/feedback do you expect?
Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2017-04-03 19:26:10 UTC 
We are thinking that we would like to handle this as an RFE which does something like this: a virt-who subcommand that validates the config, reports any problems (including ignored keys), and validates connections with candlepin and virtualization backends.
