Chapter 6. Using pathways to resolve multiple advisor-service recommendations

By following the remediation steps in a pathway, you can view and address multiple recommendations in one configuration change. Use pathways to see all of the systems that the remediation affects without having to investigate every action within every recommendation.

The specific recommendations that appear in a pathway depend on the issues that affect your infrastructure at a given time. Red Hat Lightspeed dynamically calculates remediation levels based on the most significant recommendations in your environment. The calculation includes the following factors:

Issues grouped into pathways must share the same common resolution type, such as a package update, configuration update, product upgrade, and so on. In addition, the issues must share a common resolution target. Each system must require the same package update or configuration file change.

Red Hat Lightspeed names each pathway after its core remediation, so you can immediately see and understand the configuration change.

When planning remediations, you want to identify the most critical recommendations that affect your environment. Identifying the highest-priority issues helps you to assign priority to your remediations and to resolve the most significant issues first. Pathways are groups of recommendations that currently affect your systems. The Recommended Pathways panel shows the most important recommendations that you can remediate for affected systems in your environment. Use the recommendations to focus your troubleshooting and remediation efforts where they matter most.

Use pathways to perform remediations on multiple systems at a time. You can select the affected systems from a list, and then remediate using Ansible playbooks or manual remediations.

You can receive notifications of new available recommendations through the notifications service.

You can receive notifications for individual recommendations in a pathway, but not for the pathway itself. To view the pathway associated with a recommendation, log in to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
