7.1. Gathering information with spacewalk-report

There are instances where administrators may need a concise, formatted summary of their RHN
Satellite resources, whether it is to take inventory of their entitlements, subscribed systems, or users
and organizations. Rather than gathering such information manually from the Satellite Web interface,
RHN Satellite 5.3.0 includes the spacewalk-report command to gather and display vital Satellite
information at once.
Note
To use spacewalk-report you must have the spacewalk-reports package
installed.
spacewalk-report allows administrators to organize and display reports about content, systems,
and user resources across the Satellite. Using spacewalk-report, you can receive reports on:
• System Inventory — Lists all of the systems registered to the Satellite.
• Entitlements — Lists all organizations on the Satellite and sorted by system or channel entitlements.
• Errata — Lists all the errata relevant to the registered systems and sorts errata by severity as well
as the systems that apply to a particular erratum.
• Users — Lists all the users registered to the Satellite, and lists any systems associated with a
particular user.
spacewalk-report allows administrators to organize and display reports about content, systems,
and user resources across the Satellite. To get the report in CSV format, run the following at the
command line of your Satellite server.
