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.

Description Chris Duryee 2017-06-13 19:13:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

A couple of users have expressed interest in a "host list only" API. This would be useful when scripting and looping over lots of hosts. If it took the same params as the existing /hosts api but returned only the host ID and hostname, that would be ideal.

There are a performance issues with the existing /hosts API call that are being addressed[1]; however even if it was lightning fast, a more minimal result set is still useful for scripting.

This is similar to Spacewalk's listActiveSystems call[2] which does not return system details. The RFE came about from users with spacewalk scripts that run much slower after porting to Katello.

Comment 1 Chris Duryee 2017-06-13 19:18:28 UTC 
The listActiveSystems call takes approximately 2 sec for 2K hosts. This new API would need similar performance, at least under 10 seconds for 5K hosts.
