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 of problem:

When running "katello-service status", one gets flooded by information in the output, usually one would just like to know if a service is in status running or failed w/o the additional output.

It would be great to add a parameter --brief which omits the additional output

A parameter --quiet which returns nothing than an exit code (0=all fine, non-0=something is wrong would be handy for simple monitoring purposes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-service-3.0.0-20

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run katello-service status
2. Search for "failed" or similar in the output
3. Getting confused and miss the important information

Actual results:
