How to disable Web Console and Red Hat Insights prompt on login to RHEL8 via SSH?

  • 772

Whenever I log into my RHEL8 server via SSH, I get these lines printed:

Web console: https://<myserver>:9090/ or https://<myip>:9090/

This system is not registered to Red Hat Insights. See https://cloud.redhat.com/
To register this system, run: insights-client --register

How do I disable those prompts?

redhat ssh rhel8 motd

    I figured it out before I finished writing this question so I figured I'd just share this with anyone else.

    # ls /etc/motd.d -lh
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 12 19:46 cockpit -> /run/cockpit/motd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 Jun 18 22:01 insights-client -> /etc/insights-client/insights-client.motd

    Each one of those symlinks prints something to the SSH terminal on login. In this case, cockpit prints the web console message and insights-client prints the insights prompt.

    Therefore just do this:

    # cd /etc/motd.d
# [sudo] rm -f cockpit insights-client

    Verified to work and persist across restart on RHEL8.4.
