Entitlements — Lists all organizations on the Satellite, sorted by system or channel
entitlements.
Errata — Lists all the errata relevant to the registered systems, sorts errata by s everity as well
as the systems that apply to a particular erratum.
Users — Lists all the users registered to the Satellite, and lists any systems as sociated with a
particular user.
System History — Lists all, or a subset, of the system events that have occurred.
To get a report in CSV format, run the following at the command prompt of your Satellite server.
