Description Peter Vreman 2020-02-05 07:44:07 UTC 
Description of problem:

On RHEL8.1 there is a new timers.target. The insights-client is still using multi-user.target instead of new timers.target.

From https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.special.html?_sm_au_=iVVF9bRKkpHHpH8qqqB8LKtkqGQpW#timers.target
--------------
timers.target

 A special target unit that sets up all timer units (see systemd.timer(5) for details) that shall be active after boot.

 It is recommended that timer units installed by applications get pulled in via Wants= dependencies from this unit. This is best configured via WantedBy=timers.target in the timer unit's "[Install]" section.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
--------------


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl cat insights-client.timer
2.
3.

Actual results:
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Expected results:
WantedBy=timers.target

Additional info:
Comment 1 Peter Vreman 2020-02-05 07:56:53 UTC 
If you are fixing the systemd unit the Wants can also be improved to really have network connectivity, see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/?_sm_au_=iVVF9bRKkpHHpH8qqqB8LKtkqGQpW

Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

This network-online.target applies also to the RHEL7.x

Please assess the impact of this issue and update the severity accordingly. Please refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity for a reminder on each severity's definition.

If it's something like a tracker bug where it doesn't matter, please set the severity to Low.
Comment 3 Peter Vreman 2020-02-05 09:36:08 UTC 
It is currently also working, it just not confirming to the standards applied in other RedHat packages.
