Chapter 8. Notifications on the Hybrid Cloud Console

Procedure

1. In the Hybrid Cloud Console, navigate to Settings > Notifications > Notification Preferences. The My Notifications page is displayed. On the My Notifications page, the available services are grouped by category, for example OpenShift, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or Subscriptions Services.
2. Select Errata in the Subscriptions Services group. A list of the available event notifications for Errata | Subscription Services is displayed.

3. At the top of the list, click Select all to enable all notifications for the service, or select one of the following options for each event listed:

   • Daily digest: Receive a daily summary of triggered application events that occur in a 24 hour time frame.

   • Instant notification: Receive an email immediately for each triggered application event. For errata alerts, instant notifications are batched and sent in 15-minute intervals.

     Important

     If you select Instant notification, you might receive a very large number of emails.

4. Update your information and then click Save. Email notifications are delivered in the format and frequency that you selected.

   Note

   If you decide to stop receiving notifications, select Deselect all or clear the boxes for the events you do not want to be notified about, and then click Save. You will no longer receive any email notifications unless you return to this screen and enable them once again.

Procedure

1. Verify that you have the proper permissions to install all available updates on the system. If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your organization administrator.
2. If you are running RHEL 5 or RHEL 6.4 or earlier, please consider upgrading your system so that you can have the most up-to-date errata and system updates.

3. Force a check in and run yum update again.* If the system has not been checked in recently, you may see a discrepancy between what you see in the Customer Portal and what is actually installed on your system.

   # rm -f /var/lib/rhsm/packages/packages.json
   # service rhsmcertd stop
   # rhsmcertd --now
   # yum update

   Note

   After forcing your system to check in again, please wait up to four hours for the errata data on Red Hat Subscription Management to update to their correct data.
