Chapter 7. Managing remediations in Red Hat Lightspeed associated playbooks

The insights-client comes preinstalled on most versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux; however, if you have to install it, use this procedure to install the insights-client on each system.

After you upgrade your Satellite Server, configure Cloud Connector to complete the upgrade process.

For more information, see Upgrading and Updating Red Hat Satellite.

You can disable direct remediations to ensure the playbook run does not get invoked from the cloud on a single host.

The enable_cloud_remediations setting in Satellite controls whether your hosts can be directly remediated through the Red Hat Lightspeed console. When the value of enable_cloud_remediations is set to False, direct remediation from Red Hat Lightspeed is disabled for that specific host. The parameter is not set for your systems, which means that by default, direct remediation is enabled with Cloud Connector.

Note, all hosts in the organization inherit the value that is set for enable_cloud_remediations.

For information about how to enable automatic and manual synchronization, see the Configuring Synchronization of Red Hat Lightspeed Recommendations for Hosts in the Satellite documentation.

When Satellite receives the request to run the remediation plan’s playbook from Cloud Connector, the request includes a list of hosts on which to execute the playbook.

You can disable remediations for the entire organization or host group by changing the Global Parameters in the Red Hat Satellite UI.
