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 Sayan Das 2021-08-18 05:52:52 UTC 
Document URL: 

Since there is no doc present for 6.10 yet, I am referring to the section from the 6.9 docs only.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.9/html-single/managing_hosts/index#using_report_templates


Section Number and Name: 

Chapter 8. Using Report Templates to Monitor Hosts



Describe the issue: 

In every new release of Satellite 6, we introduce one or two new report templates but we don't document their use cases anywhere.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Satellite 6.10 ships following report templates.

Ansible - Ansible Inventory          
Host - Applicable Errata             
Host - Applied Errata                
Host - compare content hosts packages
Host - Last Checkin                  
Host - Registered Content Hosts      
Host - Statuses                      
Host - Vulnerabilities               
Jobs - Invocation report template    
Subscription - Entitlement Report    
Subscription - General Report        
User - Registered Users 


* Please create a section to describe the purpose and use cases of these report templates. One of two lines of short description should be just fine but at least have this documented.

* Also, if some reports specifically rely on some sort of satellite-based actions. Please document the same.

e.g. To be able to work with "Host - Applied Errata", one needs to apply ERRATA using Satellite's REX\katello-agent feature only. 


Additional information: 

I will recommend connecting with concerned members from the engineering team and have it discussed.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.
Comment 4 Brad Buckingham 2023-06-13 00:19:10 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
