As a user of RHEL, it is imperative to know what Errata are applicable to my cloud-based RHEL system.

To view a list of applicable Errata for your RHEL system, you must complete the following:

  1. Create a free account at the Red Hat Customer Portal
    Red Hat Register

  2. Register to Red Hat using the command subscription-manager register and enter the username and password when prompted for the Red Hat account created in step 1.
    subscription-manager register

  3. Register to Red Hat Insights using the command insights-client --register
    insights-client --register

  4. Navigate to Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console to locate your client's Insight profile.

  5. After clicking Inventory and then clicking Systems on the left side of the UI, click on the Vulnerability tab below the system's hostname to view the vulnerabilities identified for the system.
