Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Description of problem:
I think a bit more logic needs to go into the icon.
The presence of the icon seems to not be very meaningful. Is my system compliant? I don't see the icon. But that doesn't mean it's compliant, since my system can be non-compliant for up to one day without the icon appearing.
The next day it appears, and I click it, and it disappears again. My system is still not compliant.
The popup bubble lacks oomph as well - it would only appear once per day for a few seconds, it's quite possible no one will ever see it (if it's after work hours, for instance, or during lunch).
How I think it should work:
The compliance check should be more often than 1 day - ideally it should be realtime, or at least within a few minutes.
The compliance icon, once visible, should stay visible until the system is compliant.
Instead of a notification bubble, flash the icon until it's clicked (thereby launching sm-gui). If the user resolves his non-compliance, icon disappears. Otherwise it stays present, and the flashing will start again the next day. If flashing is too hard on our customers' eyes, maybe just change the icon to a angrier one instead. :)

Quality Engineering Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may
appeal this decision by reopening this request.
We designed this to be a bit less intrusive. The user can configure up the nagging if they desire. The changes for 676377 should improve the experience a bit.
