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 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2018-11-14 13:36:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
When trying to preview a report, user input is handled incorrectly. Its value is probably not passed or plainly wrong. In default templates, this leads to empty dataset. When I remove the search from the default template, preview shows full dataset. When generating report normally, user input works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Reproduced on Sat 6.5 snap 3

How reproducible:
Deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Monitoring -> Report Templates -> <some_default_template> -> Preview

Actual results:
Empty dataset

Expected results:
Dataset for the selected host
Comment 1 Marek Hulan 2018-11-14 13:40:58 UTC 
As described in inputs help, if input is not ready, it's replaced with "$USER_INPUT['name']" string. Of course that's not a valid syntax for searching. This is limitation known from older Satellite versions, I'd suggest turning this into RFE for "allowing specify custom values for user inputs when previewing template" or "define sample preview value at input definition" based on what you'd prefer as a solution.
Comment 2 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2018-11-14 13:56:49 UTC 
Does this mean preview won't work for most of the templates using user input?
Comment 3 Marek Hulan 2018-11-14 14:25:58 UTC 
Preview works, but if the user input is used the way all our default templates use it - for searching the records - the result will always be empty. But I understand, the fact you're seeing empty result for preview is not very useful. We could disable the preview for 6.5, but that would probably be worse. After short conversation on IRC, it seems for 6.5 it would be reasonable to use empty string as a value in preview. We need to check whether it will be compatible with REX templates.
