Appendix B. Command options for the Red Hat Lightspeed client

ansible_host

Use this option if you want a different hostname when running Ansible playbooks.

authmethod=CERT

Set the authentication method. Valid option is CERT. The default value is CERT.

auto_config=True

Use this to auto configure with Satellite server. Values can be True (default) or False.

NOTE: When auto_config=True (default), the authentication method used is CERT.

auto_update=True

Automatically update the dynamic configuration. The default is True. Change to False if you do not want to automatically update.

base_url=cert-api.access.redhat.com:443/r/insights

This is the base URL for the API.

cmd_timeout=120

This is for commands run during collection and is measured in seconds. The command processes are terminated when the timeout value is reached.

content_redaction_file

Use this to omit lines or keywords from files and commands in the core collection. The core collection is a more comprehensive result set.

You do not need to change the default configuration. The content_redaction_file option uses the /etc/insights-client/file-content-redaction.yaml file by default.

display_name

Use this as the display name for registration. The default is to use /etc/hostname.

NOTE: This value interacts with the insights-client --display-name command. If you use the CLI to change the display name but a different display name is enabled in the configuration file, the display name reverts to the configuration file value when the scheduler runs the Red Hat Lightspeed client.

http_timeout=120

This is for HTTP calls and is measured in seconds. The command processes terminate when the timeout value is reached.

[insights-client]

This is a required first line of the configuration file, even if you specify a different location or name for the client configuration file.

loglevel=DEBUG

Use this to change the log level. Options are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL. The default is DEBUG. The default log file location is /var/log/insights-client/insights-client.log.

obfuscation_list=<ipaddress_type>

Use this to specify which IP connectivity protocol for the addresses to be obfuscated in the data collection. The default is empty, which means no obfuscation. Supported options are: ipv4, ipv6, hostname, and mac. For example, to obfuscate the IP address (IPv6) and the hostname, set obfuscation_list=ipv6,hostname.

IMPORTANT: The obfuscate and obfuscate_hostname options are deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Red Hat Lightspeed. If your configuration file contains obfuscation_list and the deprecated obfuscation options, the obfuscation_list configuration takes precedence and you will see a warning message in the output. Remove the deprecated options from your configuration file.

proxy

Use this for the URL for your proxy. Example: http://user:pass@192.168.100.50:8080

redaction_file

Use this to omit files or commands from the core collection. The core collection is a more comprehensive result set.

You do not need to change the default configuration. The redaction_file option uses /etc/insights-client/file-redaction.yaml by default.
