3.2. Stopping Package List Data Collection

A system can be registered in three main ways:
  • On the local system
  • Through the Customer Portal, registered as an offline system
  • To an on-premise service such as Red Hat Satellite
In all three cases, the registration process automatically begins creating and maintaining a package list for the given subscription service. Since package lists are a core aspect of subscription maintenance, this data collection cannot be suspended. If it is necessary to prevent data collection on the system, then remove the system from the subscription management service.
  • Unregister the system.
  • Unregister the system and delete the entry from the Customer Portal.
  • Since package lists for systems registered in the portal are also stored in the portal subscription database, the entire system entry must be deleted for the information to be removed.
  • Unregister the system from the on-premise subscription service,.
