Red Hat Release

Combiner for Red Hat Release information. It uses the results of the Uname parser and the RedhatRelease parser to determine the release major and minor version. Uname is the preferred source of data. The Red Hat Release is in obtained from the system in the form major.minor. For example, for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 system, the release would be major = 7, minor = 2 and rhel = ‘7.2’.

class insights.combiners.redhat_release.RedHatRelease(uname, rh_rel)[source]

Bases: object

Combiner class to check uname and redhat-release for RHEL major/minor version. Prefer uname to redhat-release.

major

The major RHEL version.

Type:: int

minor

The minor RHEL version.

Type:: int

rhel

The RHEL version, e.g. ‘7.2’, ‘7.5-0.14’

Type:: str

rhel6

The RHEL version when it’s RHEL6, otherwise None

Type:: str

rhel7

The RHEL version when it’s RHEL7, otherwise None

Type:: str

rhel8

The RHEL version when it’s RHEL8, otherwise None

Type:: str

rhel9

The RHEL version when it’s RHEL9, otherwise None

Type:: str

Raises:: SkipComponent -- If the version can’t be determined even though a Uname or RedhatRelease was provided.

Examples

>>> rh_rel.rhel
'7.2'
>>> rh_rel.major
7
>>> rh_rel.minor
2
>>> rh_rel.rhel6 is None
True
>>> rh_rel.rhel7
'7.2'
>>> rh_rel.rhel8 is None
True
