RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. 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.

Doc Text:
.The subscription-manager utility displays the current status of actions The `subscription-manager` utility now displays with progress information while it is processing the current operation. This is helpful when `subscription-manager` takes more than usual time to complete its operations related to server communication, for example, registration. To revert to the previous behavior, enter: ---- # subscription-manager config --rhsm.progress_messages=0 ----

Description mhorky 2022-05-31 14:39:51 UTC 
subscription-manager makes several API calls when it connects to the server and performs its operations. Some of them, registration for example, may take really long time (over twenty seconds).

To show that the program is not frozen, a progress message system has been created to show what subscription-manager does at given time. Each API endpoint is described and this information is shown to the user while waiting for server response. When it is received, the message is erased, so the final output did not change.

The work is already merged in main branch (via https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/3003), this bug has been created to help with its tracking.

Pre-verifying on version:
[root@kvm-01-guest07 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 3.2.22-1
subscription management rules: 5.41
subscription-manager: 1.29.28+11.g2babf61c4-1.git.0.b651794

Verbosity is increased - pre-verification PASSED adding attachment

Verifying on :
=============
# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 4.0.18-2
subscription management rules: 5.41
subscription-manager: 1.29.29-1.el9

# rpm -q subscription-manager --changelog | grep 2092014
- 2092014: Do not use injections in rhsm (mhorky)
- 2092014: Disable progress messages when sub-man RPM is not installed

1) Verify the verbosity with config parameter ( "progress_messages") set to 1 --> Notice the informational messages being displayed in the terminal --> Passed (PFA : withverbosity_on.png ) 

2) Verify the verbosity with config parameter ( "progress_messages") set to 0 --> Notice the informational messages no longer appear --> Passed (PFA : withverbosity_off.png)

3) Verify the tab completion works for the new config options 

Ex : # subscription-manager config --rhsm.p<TAB><TAB>
--rhsm.package_profile_on_trans  --rhsm.plugindir                 --rhsm.progress_messages         
--rhsm.pluginconfdir             --rhsm.productcertdir   

ˆ^Notice the  "progress_messages" is listed in the details above --Passed

Ex : # subscription-manager config --rhsm.prog<TAB><TAB> --> Successfully completes to # subscription-manager config --rhsm.progress_messages   --> Passed

4. Verify the man pages updates for the new config option  --> Passed

# man rhsm.conf | grep progress_messages -A4
       progress_messages
           Set to 0 to disable progress reporting. When subscription-manager waits while fetching certificates or updating user information, it writes temporary informational messages to the standard output. This feature may not be desired in some situations, changing this option prevents those messages from being displayed.

Based on the above observations, Moving the bug to Verified!!
