Chapter 1. Insights proxy overview
Chapter 1. Insights proxy overview Red Hat Insights is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application included with every subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Red Hat Insights provides predictive analytics, automatically discovers relevant insights, recommends tailored actions, and automates tasks. If you have constraints that prevent your systems from directly accessing the Internet, Insights proxy provides capabilities and features for securely and efficiently connecting your systems to Red Hat Insights, including: Easy Access The Insights proxy resolves architectural, technical and firewall configuration issues, freeing you from troubleshooting these issues yourself. Security The Insights proxy protects your systems from malware threats by filtering traffic and scanning for malicious content. It can also serve as a firewall. Quickly view and execute recommendations You can view and execute recommendations to keep your fleet efficient, secure, compliant, and updated. Simply send a subset of log data to the Red Hat Insights service by using a single proxy. Patching You can connect to Red Hat as needed to pull the most recent patches into your network. This enables you to push updates to systems behind your firewall, using your own tools and schedules.
