1. Proposed title of this feature request Macro to include System Installation Date in Reporting 2. What are the nature and description of the request? The customer would like reporting to include system installation date. 3. Why do you need this? (List the business requirements here) Compliance reporting mandated by management and global security 4. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here) We can achieve this by opening file base.rb and add method host_created_at at line 147 ~~~ #vi /usr/share/foreman/lib/foreman/renderer/scope/macros/base.rb 143 def host_cores(cores) 144 host&.cores 145 end 146 147 def host_created_at(host) 148 host&.created_at 149 end 150 151 def host_virtual(host) 152 host&.virtual 153 end ~~~ Restart httpd #systemctl restart httpd You can use this macro in report like this 'Created At': host_created_at(host) 5. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and your organization can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented. We would generate a new copy of the report. 6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla? No 7. Do you have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL8.3, Sat7)? Probably too late to get this into 6.8 as GA is only weeks away, but sooner than later? 8. List any affected packages or components. Satellite 6.7 Report Templates 9. Would you be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? Yes, but not having a "non-prod" satellite instance would make it a bit difficult to test.
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/31071 has been resolved.
Fix is in Satellite 6.9 SNAP 1 with foreman-2.3.0-0.7.rc1.el7sat.noarch
Verified with Sat 6.9.0 snap 8.0. You can now access the data using "host.created_at".
