7.1. Web UI
Support for Multiple Content View Environments in Hosts and Activation Keys in Hammer CLI
Hosts and activation keys now support multiple content view environments instead of being limited to a single content view and lifecycle environment. This is done in the Hammer CLI.
For more information, see Managing content view environments in Managing content.
Enable Insights advisor in Satellite recommendations without connecting to console.redhat.com
Satellite includes an installation option for enabling Insights advisor in Satellite recommendation capabilities without connecting to console.redhat.com. Enable this feature through the installer to use insights-client, which sends data exclusively to Satellite. Satellite then generates Insights advisor in Satellite recommendations based on the findings.
Job details page
The Job details page has been redesigned for enhanced user experience. By default, the web UI displays the previous design. To view the new design, navigate to Monitor > Jobs, click a job name in the Description column and then click New UI.
All Hosts page
The new All Hosts page has the following features:
- Bulk actions: You can now select one or more hosts and use the options menu to perform actions such as such as Build management, Change host group, Delete, Manage content, Packages (install/remove/upgrade), Errata, Content source, and Content view environments to change the content view and lifecycle environment of hosts.
- Single-host actions: You can perform actions on a single host by using the options menu to Edit, Clone, Delete, and Change content view environments.
To use the new page by default, navigate to Administer > Settings and set Show new host overview page to Yes. The legacy and the new All Hosts pages are linked so that you can switch between them.
