Include system in Daily Summary
— This setting includes the selected systems in a daily

These are actions affecting packages, such as scheduled Errata Updates, and system reboots
or failures to check in. In addition to including the systems here, you must choose to receive
email notifications in the
Your Preferences

•
Automatic application of relevant errata
— This setting allows you have all Errata Updates
automatically applied to systems. This means packages associated with Errata will be updated
without any user intervention. Customers should note that Red Hat does not recommend the
use of the auto-update feature for production systems because conflicts between packages and
environments can cause system failures. The Red Hat Network Daemon must be enabled on
the systems for this feature to work.
