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.

Description Rehana 2020-06-19 14:41:01 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1848636

I am copying this bug because: 



Description of problem:
After a successful registration using rhsm and insights-client, the insights machine_id is missing from the subscription-manager facts collection.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-13 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager insights-client
subscription-manager-1.27.6-1.el8.x86_64
insights-client-3.0.14-2.el8.noarch


How reproducible:

Expected results:
insights_id: f1261596-bd10-4a38-a970-76e48a0329ae

Successfully unregistered from the Red Hat Insights Service
[root@hpe-dl380pgen8-02-vm-7 ~]# subscription-manager unregister
Unregistering from: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
System has been unregistered.
[root@hpe-dl380pgen8-02-vm-7 ~]# rm -f /etc/insights-client/machine-id
[root@hpe-dl380pgen8-02-vm-7 ~]# rm -f /etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id


TEST 2___________________________________________________
Testing based on lessons learned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848636#c1 which demonstrated that a future versions of insights-client will no longer manage the "/etc/redhat-access-insights/machine-id" symlink.  To test this on rhel-7, we will manually delete the symlink and verify that subscription-manager will still collect the insights_id fact....
