8.1. Installing Red Hat Insights
Install Red Hat Insights to collect information about your inventory.
Procedure
Install the Insights client on every RHEL system that is managed by Red Hat Satellite by using the following instructions:
The Insights client is installed by default on RHEL 8 and later systems unless the minimal installation option was used to install RHEL. However, the client must still be registered, as documented in the client installation instructions.
8.2. What data does Red Hat Insights collect?
When the Red Hat Insights client is installed on a system, it collects data about that system on a daily basis and sends it to the Red Hat Insights cloud application. The data might also be shared with other applications on the Cloud Services platform, such as inventory or subscription watch. Insights provides configuration and command options, including options for data obfuscation and data redaction, to manage that data.
For more information, see the Client Configuration Guide for Red Hat Insights, available with the Red Hat Insights product documentation.
