Chapter 6. Usage metrics collection in Satellite


Satellite collects information on product usage to improve how Red Hat prioritizes future development and to help with debugging. The collected usage metrics include information such as which Satellite features are used and the number of objects in the database.

6.1. Overview of usage metrics collection in Satellite

Satellite includes the satellite-maintain report generate command, which can collect information from user environments to better understand how Satellite is used.

The following systemd timers collect the data:

satellite-usage-metrics-generate.timer
This timer collects the full list of usage metrics. It executes the satellite-maintain report generate command on your Satellite Server and then stores the collected data in the /var/lib/foreman-maintain/satellite_metrics.yml file. The timer runs weekly.
satellite-usage-metrics-condense.timer
This timer collects the same set of metrics as satellite-usage-metrics-generate.timer, condenses them so that they can be uploaded as custom Red Hat Subscription Manager facts, and stores them in the /etc/rhsm/facts/foreman.facts file. The timer runs weekly.

When you use the sos report command to generate a report for Red Hat Technical Support, the report will include the satellite_metrics.yml and /etc/rhsm/facts/foreman.facts files, along with the other configuration, diagnostics, and troubleshooting data that sos collects.

6.2. Reviewing usage metrics collected from your Satellite

You can review the usage metrics that Satellite collects from your deployment by using the satellite-maintain report command on your Satellite Server.

Procedure

  1. Display the list of full usage metrics:

    # satellite-maintain report generate
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Display the list of condensed usage metrics:

    # satellite-maintain report condense
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 6.1. Example output of satellite-maintain report generate

# satellite-maintain report generate
Running Generate the usage reports
================================================================================
Check if OpenSCAP is used:                                            [OK]

6.3. Disabling the collection of usage metrics

You can opt out of the default usage metrics collection by masking the systemd timers that collect the data on your Satellite Server.

Procedure

  1. To disable the collection of the full usage metrics:

    1. Mask the satellite-usage-metrics-generate.timer unit:

      # systemctl mask satellite-usage-metrics-generate.timer
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. If the timer has been executed already at least once, remove the generated usage metrics file:

      # rm /var/lib/foreman-maintain/satellite_metrics.yml
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. To disable the collection of the condensed usage metrics:

    1. Mask the satellite-usage-metrics-condensed.timer unit:

      # systemctl mask satellite-usage-metrics-condensed.timer
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. If the timer has been executed already at least once, remove the generated usage metrics file:

      # rm /etc/rhsm/facts/foreman.facts
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Verification

  1. On your Satellite Server, verify the status of the timer you want to disable. For example, to verify the status of the satellite-usage-metrics-generate.timer unit:

    # systemctl status satellite-usage-metrics-generate.timer
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Verify that no generated usage metrics file exists:

    # cat /var/lib/foreman-maintain/satellite_metrics.yml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
