Chapter 3. Bug Fixes

Logging error during the host registration with Red Hat Insights

Previously, provisioning a host registered with Red Hat Insights by running the command insights-client —register –verbose logged a huge stack trace log after package installation.

Host group information inheritance when provisioning a discovered host

Previously, when you provisioned a discovered host, the content view and lifecycle environment information was missing after selecting a host group and trying to customize the host entry. This resulted in a failed deployment attempt. With this release, information from the host group is correctly inherited when you provision a discovered host.

Infoblox plugin no longer suggests IP addresses already in use

Previously, when you used the Infoblox plugin as the DHCP provider, it suggested free IP addresses that were already in use. With this fix, you can configure the plugin to check the availability of IP addresses. The availability checks are enabled by default.

Optional fields in the Host Registration form no longer marked as mandatory

Previously, in the Satellite web UI, the following fields in Hosts > Register Host were marked with an asterisk as required: Organization, Location, Setup REX, Setup Insights, Install packages, Token life time, and REX pull mode. This fix removes the asterisk mark, because those fields are optional, and moves the mandatory Activation Keys field from the Advanced tab to the General tab.

katello/api/repositories/:repository_id/sync now correctly obtains repository synchronization status

The /katello/api/repositories/:repository_id/sync endpoint now functions correctly. You can send a GET request to get the synchronization status of the given repository.

Local files are enabled in the SCAP client for newer systems

Previously, on hosts running later minor releases of RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, the SCAP client ignored local SCAP resources. With this release, the SCAP client is configured also for the above-mentioned systems to look for local SCAP resources in the home directory of root (/root).

Generating full host boot image with installation media over HTTPS no longer fails

Previously, when you created a host with installation media provided over HTTPS and attempted to generate the full host boot image, the image download failed. With this release, the image download functions correctly.

Export of host data now contains the selected columns

Previously, the export from the All Hosts page contained a predefined selection of columns, which did not reflect the columns selected on the page. With this release, the export contains the set of columns that you have selected in the Satellite web UI. Note that some columns can be split into multiple columns in the csv export.

Alternate Content Sources that use HTTP proxies cannot have the HTTP proxy removed

Previously, if the Use HTTP Proxy flag was unset on the Alternate Content Source, traffic continued to go through the HTTP proxy. With this release, you can set and unset the use HTTP Proxy flag on the Alternate Content Source and it functions correctly.
