Description Sayan Das 2022-02-26 14:20:34 UTC
Description of problem:

The insights registration steps happen during host build even if the host_registration_insights parameter is set to false in Satellite 7.0

The problem is that we call the snippet "insights" directly in "kickstart default" template without validating the conditional. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 7.0 Beta ( Satellite 6.10 and 6.9 as well )


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a Satellite 7 beta and configure it for PXE provisioning 

2. Set the value of "host_registration_insights" boolean to false in global parameters. 

3. Create and submit the host for build. 

4. Once the host is built either render the Provisioning template against the host or else check the /root/install.post.log file on the host.



Actual results:

We will be able to see that even after the host_registration_insights parameter is set to false, as a part of build process, the insights-client package was installed and the registration was attempted. 


Expected results:

The build process should honor the value of host_registration_insights boolean and based on that, it should execute the insights-related actions in the post-provisioning steps. 


Additional info:

In kickstart_default template and kickstart_ovirt template, we directly call the snippet for insights in this way:

<%= snippet 'insights' -%>

but it should be called in this way:

<% if host_param_true?('host_registration_insights') -%>
<%= snippet 'insights' -%>
<% end -%>

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34525 has been resolved.

Comment 4 Akhil Jha 2022-03-29 07:58:57 UTC
Verified.
Satellite 7.0.0-14.0.

Comment 5 Akhil Jha 2022-03-29 08:07:37 UTC
Oops. My bad. Satellite 6.11.0-14.0 :)
