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 2020-03-19 15:40:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I generate a report in JSON format, Submit button gets me to the page where I can download it. It download automatically and the file is correct. When I click the Download button, however, I get the same file but with quotation marks escaped by backslashes, i.e.:

1st time:
..."Organization":"Default Organization","Lifecycle Environment":"Library"...

n+1st time:
...\"Organization\":\"Default Organization\",\"Lifecycle Environment\":\"Library\"...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Reproduced with Sat 6.7 snap 16; JSON format not supported in Sat 6.6

How reproducible:
Deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a Satellite with some host
2. Monitor -> Report Templates -> generate Host Statuses
3. Select JSON format, Submit
4. Download the file
5. Click Download and download the file again

Actual results:
Quotation marks escaped

Expected results:
Correct JSON file

Additional info:
This doesn't happen with custom templates containing quotation marks
