Description Jayant Bhatia 2023-02-06 19:15:29 UTC

Description of problem:

The Katello Agent/Goferd has been deprecated and has been replaced by remote execution. The "Satellite WebUI -> Administer -> Settings -> Content -> Use remote execution by default" is by default set to "No". Since Katello Agent/Goferd has been deprecated, this setting should either be set to 'Yes' by default or should be removed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-installer-6.13.0.2-1.el8sat.noarch


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to '"Satellite WebUI -> Administer -> Settings -> Content"'
2. Look for "Use remote execution by default" setting.


Actual results: The "Use remote execution by default" setting is set to "No"


Expected results: The "Use remote execution by default" setting should either be set to 'Yes' by default or should be removed considering katello agent/gofer method has been deprecated.


Additional info: Use remote execution by default -> If this is enabled, remote execution is used instead of katello-agent for remote actions

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36083 from this bug

Comment 4 Ron Lavi 2023-02-21 13:47:55 UTC

As discussed on the PR in https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/10449#issuecomment-1437088717
We think that this should be postponed and the setting should be removed as part of the upcoming work removing katello-agent,
instead of setting it by default to true.

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36083 has been resolved.

Verified the settings were removed from UI, CLI, API in Stream snap 29.0.

[root@satellite ~]# hammer settings info --name remote_execution_by_default
Error: setting not found.
[root@satellite ~]# hammer settings info --name  content_action_accept_timeout
Error: setting not found.
[root@satellite ~]# hammer settings info --name content_action_finish_timeout
Error: setting not found.
