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 of problem:

It should be eaiser to identify physical and virtual systems and hierarchy of host to guest from within Satellite WebUI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 6


Steps to reproduce:

register and subscribe host and guest systems to a satellite management system
 

Acctual results:

To determine which system is physical and which is a virtual machine, one must drill down into the system details, one system at a time.  There is no virtual to host mapping that is made either making managment of a virtual environment tedious.


Expected results:

Use an icon next to each subscribed system in the satellite WebUI similar to what is used in the Portal (ghost computer icon for VMs).  Group guests with the host they are running on.


Additional info:

There is a new UI component coming that will help address just this problem. First, rather than the narrow list on the left, it will be a full-width table. This will allow more columns (and sortable). After that a feature will be added where rows in the table can be expandable to show, for example, a physical systems guests.

Thanks for the feedback!

Shorter term we could add the host/guest info the elasticsearch so at least there would be a way to filter what systems are shown.

katello nightly now has search by host/guest in systems

https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/2702

Entering "host:system1" in systems search field will return all registered virtual guests on system1. Entering "guests:vm1" will return the host that has a guest named vm1.

Further organizing systems by collapsing rows, etc. remains to be done.
