In 2019, Red Hat announced that we were including Red Hat Insights with every Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) subscription. Now in 2020, we have expanded the capabilities that Insights includes and we wanted to take this opportunity to review what these expanded capabilities means to you, and to share some of the basics of Red Hat Insights.
We wanted to make Red Hat Enterprise Linux easier than ever to adopt and give our customers the control, confidence and freedom to help scale their environments through intelligent management.
What is Red Hat Insights?
You may have experienced a situation where you had a problem with a system and you had to start by checking the basics. Is the time set correctly? Are my network settings correct? Then you move on to more detailed checks like “have I updated the kernel, or am I susceptible to Spectre/Meltdown?” You may have also been asked by your leadership whether or not you are protected from a new vulnerability, along with a request to report ASAP on how many systems across your estate are impacted.
