Resolution

  • Whether or not you are using Satellite, there are two methods for unregistering a system from Red Hat Insights.

  • Using CLI:

Execute `redhat-access-insights --unregister/insights-client  --unregister` to unregister that system from Insights.
  • Using Red Hat Portal:
  -- From the [Inventory page](https://access.redhat.com/insights/inventory) of the Insights UI dashboard, 
  -- Click the checkbox to the left of the system(s) you want to unregister. 
  -- Above the list of systems, click the **Actions** button, then select **Unregister**. 
  -- Click **Yes** at the prompt to confirm.

Note: You must also remove any Insights registration scripts from configuration tools such as Puppet, Ansible, or Chef because these will re-register the system automatically.
