Chapter 12. Send reports to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console

Procedure

1. Log in to the Discovery graphical user interface.

2. Find the ID value for the scan job that you want to use to create an Red Hat Lightspeed report.

   Note

   Depending on how your reports were created, you may locate them using the Scan ID or Scan Name fields that relate to the scans that produced the reports. Merged and uploaded reports may not have values in the Scan ID or Scan Name fields.

3. Select Publish to send the Lightspeed report to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and the services that can consume the reports, such as Subscriptions Inventory and Subscription Services.

   Note

   While you can view the output of insights reports, the Discovery documentation does not provide any information to help you interpret Lightspeed report results. Red Hat Support can provide some basic assistance related to the installation and use of Discovery. However, the support team does not provide any assistance to help you understand the Lightspeed reports. The Lightspeed reports and their format are designed for use by Red Hat internal processes, such as providing data to various Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console services.

Verification

1. Verify that a confirmation message displays in the Discovery graphical user interface, confirming that the report was sent to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.

Procedure

1. Log in to the command line interface, where server_administrator_username is the username for the Discovery server administrator and server_administrator_password is the password for the server administrator:

   dsc server login --username __server_administrator_username__ --password __server_administrator_password__

2. Find the report_id value for the scan job that you want to use to create a Lightspeed report. The following command returns the summary details for all created scan objects:

   dsc scan list --table

   Note

   If you know the scan name but not the report_id value, you can use the qpc scan show --name scan_name command to show the scan jobs for that scan only.

3. Using the report_id value that you located, download the Lightspeed report for the scan job. In the following example command, the file name assigned to the downloaded report is report.tar.gz but you can change this filename as needed:

   dsc report insights --report __report_id__ --output-file report.tar.gz

4. Add the credentials that you use to log in to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, generally your Red Hat Customer Portal account, to the command line interface configuration. This step is needed so that these credentials can be used in the next step to publish the Lightspeed report to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.

   dsc insights login

5. Use the publish subcommand to publish the Lightspeed report data to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and the services that can consume the reports, such as Subscriptions Inventory and Subscription Services.

   dsc insights publish --input-file report.tar.gz

Red Hat Support can provide some basic assistance related to the installation and use of Discovery.

Verification

1. Verify that the command output confirms the Lightspeed report was published successfully to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
