Red Hat SummitViewing and managing your subscription inventory on the Hybrid Cloud Console
Abstract
Part I. Viewing and managing your subscription inventory
The Subscription Inventory page on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console provides information and resources to help you manage the account-level subscriptions in your inventory. Specifically, you can view details and status information about each subscription, learn more about subscriptions and how to manage them, and explore purchasing and no-cost trial options.
Subscription-level details (name, SKU, quantity, and service level) about each subscription in your inventory are presented in the All subscriptions table. These details, plus the account support type and subscription capacity, are also presented in a list on the subscription details page. The account number is displayed in the table title.
The subscription status types (Active, Expired, Expiring soon, and Future dated) and the number of subscriptions in your inventory with each status are displayed in a set of tiles on the Subscription inventory page.
There are multiple ways to view and organize the subscription information in the All subscriptions table.
- You can use the table to sort the subscriptions alphabetically or numerically by name, SKU, quantity, or service level.
- You can use the tiles to filter your subscriptions by status (active, expired, expiring soon, or future dated).
- You can use the search bar to filter your subscriptions by name or SKU.
Authorized users can use the Subscription Inventory page to manage your subscriptions and interact with your Red Hat account team, as needed, to maintain adequate subscription quantities and types for your account.
Chapter 1. Adding a subscription to your inventory
Authorized users can acquire new subscriptions directly from the Subscription Inventory page. Red Hat subscriptions are available through multiple channels, including Red Hat Marketplace, Red Hat Store, a Red Hat sales representative, or a Red Hat business partner.
To learn more about the purchasing options or to access a no-cost trial, click Purchase subscriptions. After the new subscription is activated, you can view it in the All subscriptions table for the account.
Chapter 2. Viewing subscription status
The status tiles on the Subscription Inventory page show the number of subscriptions in your inventory that are active, already expired, expiring soon, or scheduled to become active on a future date.
-
Active
The subscription term has started based on the terms of the contract.
You can use the subscription. -
Expired
The subscription term has ended based on the terms of the contract.
You must renew the subscription to activate it. -
Expiring soon
The subscription is scheduled to expire within 30 days.
You must renew the subscription before the end date to keep it active. -
Future dated
The subscription is scheduled to become active within 30 days.
You can begin using the subscription on the start date.
Subscriptions can have more than one status. For example, an active subscription that is scheduled to expire within 30 days will be counted on both the Active and Expiring soon tiles.
Chapter 3. Viewing your subscription inventory
The All subscriptions table on the Subscription Inventory page contains detailed information about all of the subscriptions that your organization owns for an account.
The account number is displayed in the table title. For example, if your account number is 12345, the All subscriptions table title displays as All subscriptions for account 12345.
The table columns show the following information for each subscription in your account:
-
Name
The name of the subscription and the product it applies to. -
SKU
The combination of letters and numbers that represent the subscription stock keeping unit (SKU). -
Quantity
The number of active subscriptions for a SKU. -
Service level
The type of service level agreement (SLA) for the subscription, as defined within the terms of the contract. Examples include Premium, Standard, Self-Support or Layered.
Prerequisites
- You are logged in to your Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console account at console.redhat.com.
- You have the Subscriptions user role in the role-based access control (RBAC) system for the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
Procedure
To view your subscription inventory, perform the following steps:
- From the Home page, locate Red Hat Insights and click RHEL.
- From the Red Hat Insights menu, click Business > Subscriptions > Subscription Inventory.
From the Subscriptions Inventory page, scroll to the All subscriptions table.
NoteThe table displays up to 10 rows per page by default. You can customize the table to show up to 100 rows per page.
Optional: Click the rows per page arrow to select the number of rows that you want to view on each page.
NoteYour subscription inventory might span more than one page.
- Use the next and previous arrows to move between pages, if applicable.
3.1. Filtering by subscription status
You can use the tiles to filter the All subscriptions table by subscription status (Active, Expired, Expiring soon, or Future dated).
To filter your subscriptions by status, click a tile. For example, clicking the Active tile displays only active subscriptions in the table. The applied filter displays in the table header.
To clear the filter, click Clear filters or close the applied filter in the table header.
Currently, you can apply only one status filter at a time. However, you can use a status filter in conjunction with the search filter in the All subscriptions table.
3.2. Filtering by subscription name or SKU
You can use the search bar in the table header to filter the subscriptions in your inventory by name or SKU. For example, if you type “A” into the search bar, the table shows only the subscriptions in your inventory that contain the letter “A” in either the Name or SKU field.
The search is not case sensitive.
Optionally, you can use the search filter in conjunction with the tile filter to filter only subscriptions of the selected status by name or SKU. For example, you can apply the Active tile filter and then type a character into the search bar to view only active subscriptions that contain the typed character in the name, the SKU, or both.
