Chapter 6. Removed functionality
This part lists functionality that has been removed in Red Hat Satellite 6.15.
katello-agent
katello-agent has been removed in 6.15. Migrate now to Remote Execution or Remote Execution pull mode. If you upgrade to 6.15 without migrating, you will not be able to perform critical host package actions, including patching and security updates. For more information about migrating to Remote Execution, see Migrating Hosts From Katello Agent to Remote Execution.
As part of the removal of katello-agent, the following Content settings have been removed:
- Use remote execution by default
- Accept action timeout
- Finish action timeout
Please note that N-1 Capsule support does not apply to katello-agent. Therefore, katello-agent infrastructure on Capsules running 6.14 will stop working when Satellite is upgraded to 6.15. Ensure that you have completely migrated to remote execution before upgrading Satellite.

Receptor-based Cloud Connector has been removed
The server-side support for the Receptor-based cloud connector has been removed on console.redhat.com. Users are expected to use the RHC-based Cloud Connector. Customers currently on Satellite 6.9 or earlier versions are advised to upgrade to Satellite 6.10 or later versions, which provide support for the RHC-based Cloud Connector.
Jira:SAT-20819
Viewing charts of monitored Facts is removed
In the Satellite web UI, the View Chart functionality and the Actions column are removed from the Fact Values table in Monitor > Facts.
Time span setting
Time span setting has been removed from scheduling remote execution jobs. If you want to regulate the remote job execution load on your Satellite, use the Concurrency level setting instead. This setting limits the number of tasks that can be run at a time per job.

Shortnames of hosts can no longer be used in API calls
With host names stored as FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Names) in Satellite, you can no longer use shortnames to retrieve the host resource in the Satellite API, such as https://satellite.example.com/api/hosts/:hostname. Use FQDN to identify the hosts.
