Description Frank Hirtz 2022-04-12 20:51:14 UTC
Description of problem:

That the UI, when we disable the "Auto Upload" functionality, we still will upload a report if the "generate" button is selected. This has been discussed in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1793017#c11

...and it was noted that this is working as intended. This request is to add a UI toggle so that we can have the plugin do the generation, but not upload. We can do this via the CLI, but we'd like a UI option for this to ease reporting for clients who can't upload for policy or other reasons.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.10.4 tested, but this is the design.

Expected results:
Be able to generate a report (and download it locally), but not upload to rh-cloud.

Comment 1 Shimon Shtein 2022-05-09 10:10:48 UTC
If the global "content_disconnected" setting is set to true, any attempt to upload the report would be rejected.

So basically if you have a Satellite with content_disconnected=true, pressing the "generate" button will result in a new report being generated, but in the "uploading" tab you will see that the upload action was cancelled.

Is this what is looked for?

Comment 2 Frank Hirtz 2022-05-09 14:39:22 UTC
Not quite. We don't want to go totally disconnected, we just want the ability to be able to generate an inventory report through the UI without it uploading. We can't upload the report due to some data assessed as sensitive (MAC data at the moment) which can't be shared. We're looking at adding MAC removal/obfuscation as an option, but there are other reasons why one might want to generate a report locally through the UI without sharing it.
