Chapter 9. Host management and monitoring by using the RHEL web console
You can use the RHEL web console interactive web interface to perform actions and monitor Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts. You can enable a remote-execution feature to integrate Satellite with the RHEL web console. When you install the RHEL web console on a host that you manage with Satellite, you can view the RHEL web console dashboards of that host from within the Satellite web UI. You can also use the features that are integrated with the RHEL web console, for example, Red Hat Image Builder.
9.1. Enabling the RHEL web console on Satellite
By default, RHEL web console integration is disabled in Satellite. If you want to access RHEL web console features for your hosts from within Satellite, you must first enable the RHEL web console on Satellite Server.
Procedure
Enable the RHEL web console on your Satellite Server:
# satellite-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-remote-execution-cockpit --reset-foreman-plugin-remote-execution-cockpit-ensure
9.2. Managing and monitoring hosts using the RHEL web console
You can access the RHEL web console UI through the Satellite web UI and use the functionality to manage and monitor hosts in Satellite.
Prerequisites
- You have enabled the RHEL web console in Satellite.
You have installed the RHEL web console on the host that you want to manage and monitor.
Satellite provides a job template named Service Action – Enable Web Console under the Ansible Services job category that you can use to install the RHEL web console. For more information about running remote jobs, see Chapter 13, Configuring and setting up remote jobs.
- Satellite or Capsule can authenticate to the host with SSH keys. For more information, see Section 13.14, “Distributing SSH keys for remote execution”.
Procedure
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > All Hosts and select the host that you want to manage and monitor with the RHEL web console.
- In the upper right of the host window, click the vertical ellipsis and select Web Console.
You can now access the full range of features available for host monitoring and management, for example, Red Hat Image Builder, through the RHEL web console.
