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

Alternatively, you can use the RedHatInsights.insights-client` Ansible role to install the Red Hat Lightspeed client and register the hosts. For more information, see Monitoring hosts by using Red Hat Lightspeed in the Red Hat Satellite Managing Hosts guide.

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

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

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.

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.

Complete the following steps 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 host group 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 the host group. The parameter is not set for your systems, which means that by default, direct remediation is enabled with Cloud Connector.
