Plugins » Katello

When updating katello-agent on client, katello-tracer-upload get removed and traces stop working.

To resolve it, we need to install manually katello-host-tools-tracer (after updating katello-agent to avoid upgrade conflicts).

The 'Upgrade / Clients' section of the documentation should clearly describe that:
- katello-agent/goferd is now optional, only used for remote exec.
- katello-host-tools required for package upload/errata status.
- katello-host-tools-tracer required for traces management, must be installed AFTER updating katello-host-tools.

If katello-agent is not used for remote exec, following packages can be removed (ex when updating from 3.4):
