Hi @pilgrimage,

Hello, how can I add my 5 servers with redhat 7.9 with Foreman?

you can use the registration functionality.

Also, do I have the possibility to see installed or missing packages like Red Hat insight?

Yes, you can check the ‘about’ page, it lists all properly registered plugins, or run gem list | grep foreman from foreman dir.

to enable the RH Insights you would need to install foreman_rh_cloud gem.
note that you also need Katello installed and may require additional setup and dependencies installation.

foreman-installer has an option

    --[no-]enable-foreman-plugin-rh-cloud Enable 'foreman_plugin_rh_cloud' puppet module (default: false)

for that.

You wouldn’t need that though for package management on a rhel client. Katello does that.

true, that’s much better.
