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 of problem:
`hammer host list --thin` does no longer work as `--thin` option was removed from `hammer` in Red Hat Satellite 6.3 (as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586).
This option is heavily used and required by customers, to generate fast list of hosts in case not all details are required.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586#c7 for details
The API call `thin` is still there and works.
As this was working in Red Hat Satellite 6.2 (and because it's available via API) we are requesting to have this back.
Also, when checking https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586 it's odd that `--thin` was removed as actually `--include` was questioned.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli-0.11.0.1-1.el7sat.noarch
How reproducible:
- Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. [root@satellite63 ~]# rpm -q satellite
satellite-6.3.0.1-1.el7sat.noarch
[root@satellite63 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
[root@satellite63 ~]#
2. [root@dhcp-144-209 ~]# rpm -q satellite
satellite-6.2.14-4.0.el7sat.noarch
[root@dhcp-144-209 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
--thin THIN Only list ID and name of hosts
[root@dhcp-144-209 ~]#
Actual results:
[root@satellite63 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
[root@satellite63 ~]#
Expected results:
[root@dhcp-144-209 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
--thin THIN Only list ID and name of hosts
Additional info:
I went through the BZ you're mentioning and it seems that --thin was removed based on inaccurate interpretation of the BZ. The first comment mentions that --include and --thin has no effect and there fore it should be removed. One of the later comments showed that --thin has actually significant performance impact but leaves some of the table columns blank.
I believe that the correct fix is:
- remove --include from host/hostgroup list (already done)
- keep --thin for host list (needs to be added back)
- extra points for hiding fields other than 'id' and 'name' when --thin is passed
Verified on Sat 6.5 snap 5, I find it a bit annoying you have to add boolean parameter to it (as if someone ever used '--thin no'), but since it was already used and loved as it was, it's probably better to keep the form intact
