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.

Red Hat Knowledge Base (Solution) 3569241 0 Troubleshoot None RHSM logs are dumped on terminal after executing subscription-manager or yum commands 2019-03-08 16:36:08 UTC

Description jcastran 2019-03-08 16:36:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
when /var/log/rhsm/ is missing, subscription-manager outputs rhsm logs on terminal.

Everytime yum is called, it calls the subscription-manager plugin and the output can be extremely excessive. This can even stop ansible which will fail when too much yum output is seen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.21.10-3.el7_6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mv /var/log/rhsm/ .
2. yum repolist

Actual results:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-

Expected results:

repolist: 23382

AND /var/log/rhsm/ gets created so subscription-manager can log properly.

Additional info:
rpm -Va does show the directory as missing. reinstalling the subscription-manager package will resolve this issue. Depending on the entitlements this output can be extremely verbose and all caused by a missing directory that it should either create if needed, or log straight to /var/log/ instead of /var/log/rhsm/.
