Chapter 1. Overview of Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux advisor service assessment and monitoring
Use the advisor service to assess and monitor the health of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) infrastructure. Whether you are concerned with individual or groups of systems, or with your whole infrastructure, be aware of the exposure of your systems to configuration issues that can affect availability, stability, performance, and security.
After installing and registering the Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux client, the client runs daily to check systems against a database of Recommendations, which are sets of conditions that can leave your RHEL systems at risk. Your data is then uploaded to the Operations > Advisor > Recommendations page where you can perform the following actions:
- See all of the recommendations for your entire RHEL infrastructure.
- Use robust filtering capabilities to refine your results to those recommendations, systems, groups, or workloads that are of greatest concern to you, including SAP workloads, Satellite host collections, and custom tags.
- Learn more about individual recommendations, details about the risks they present, and get resolutions tailored to your individual systems.
- Share results with other stakeholders. For more information, see Generating Advisor Service Reports.
- Create and manage remediation playbooks to fix issues right from the Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux application. For more information, see Red Hat Insights Remediations Guide.
