Better Reporting of Hypervisor Style RHEL Subscriptions
Greater transparency to subscription utilization in console.redhat.com

The console.redhat.com product team has been working on improvements for greater visibility between Virtual Data Center and physical Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions. Through the console, you should be able to see hypervisor usage within graphs as well as sort-able tables by virtual guests. This visibility will provide greater cost analysis through assessment of guest density. See below for a full listing of How To articles on the set up of the VDC environment for proper reporting into console.redhat.com.

Usage and utilization graph example

  1. A tooltip displays when you hover over a point in the graph.
  2. The maximum capacity of RHEL usage, based on a unit of measurement of sockets, displays as the dashed subscription threshold line.
  3. The RHEL subscription usage, based on a unit of measurement of sockets, displays as four different colors for RHEL installed in physical, virtual, public cloud, and hypervisor environments.
