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 2023-03-01 10:31:04 UTC
1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Improve the documentation for redhat.satellite.setting module from Satellite Ansible collections  


2. What is the nature and description of the request?

Change\Improvement in the module\readme\doc to ensure that users can use the redhat.satellite.setting  ansible module in the right way


3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

If we see any of the following i.e. 

https://console.redhat.com/ansible/automation-hub/repo/published/redhat/satellite/content/module/setting/
/usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/redhat/satellite/roles/settings/README.md
/usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/redhat/satellite/plugins/modules/setting.py

It mentions that for "name" parameter we have to use "Name of the Setting". 

Now, If someone goes to Satellite UI --> Administer --> Settings the data they see is "Full Name" and that cannot be used. 

The only way to get the "Name" is by using API or hammer e.g. 

# hammer settings list |  grep ssh_user

or

# hammer settings list --search "ssh_user"
--------------------------|-----------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME                      | FULL NAME | VALUE   | DESCRIPTION                                                                     
--------------------------|-----------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
remote_execution_ssh_user | SSH User  | ansible | Default user to use for SSH.  You may override per host by setting a paramete...
--------------------------|-----------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where 

"Name" is remote_execution_ssh_user and to be used with hammer or within the ansible playbook

Full Name is "SSH User" that is reflected in UI. 

But This approach is not clearly documented anywhere and hence causing confusion for the end user to understand what to use or from where to find the right value for the parameter "name".


4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

Add some texts like this i.e. 

"To see all available settings, run `hammer settings list` on the Foreman\Satellite Server where the string in "NAME" column can be mentioned in "name" parameter"

Or,

""To see all available settings, run `hammer settings list` on the Satellite Server, if there is a setting you wish to modify provide the string in column NAME to the name option below, if your familiar with the settings as they appear in the Web UI those are listed in column FULL NAME""


5. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

Check those paths or links from point 3 and it should contain appropriate text


6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
No.


7. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

As soon as possible


8. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
No.


9. List any affected packages or components.

ansible-collection-redhat-satellite

10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Yes


11. Additional information:

NA

Comment 1 Griffin Sullivan 2023-05-04 16:38:03 UTC
Verified on stream snap 12

Documentation for redhat.satellite.setting has been updated with a note about Full Name vs. Name

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://console.redhat.com/ansible/automation-hub/repo/published/redhat/satellite/content/module/setting/

or 

1. # ansible-doc redhat.satellite.setting


Results:
"""
NOTES:
      * To obtain a list of possible settings for your installation, use the
        [redhat.satellite.setting_info] module or the `hammer settings list' command and look
        for the `name' attribute.
      * The web interface by default shows the `full_name' attribute, which can't be used with
        this module.
