With Insights On-Prem enabled and providing two services e.g., Advisor and Vulnerability, within Satellite, As new job \ task ForemanInventoryUpload::Async::SingleHostReportJob, was designed and this task is triggered automatically whenever a new Package Profile data is uploaded from a host to satellite. 

In Satellite 6.18.2, when IoP is enabled, this task seems to always fail. 

Affected Version:

Red Hat Satellite 6.18.2 

foreman_rh_cloud 12.2.12 and .13

Steps to reproduce:

• Install a satellite 6.18 ( connected ) and import a manifest into it
• Don't register the system to insights\lightspeed
• Enable basic repos and sync
• Enable IoP
• RESTART SATELLITE SERVICES
• Register a system with satellite 
• See if that triggers a `Single-host report job for host XXX` or not  in Monitor -> Satellite tasks --> tasks page
• If not, Update or Downgrade some packages on the client host followed by the execution of `dnf uploadprofile --force-upload` command and then that should triggers a `Single-host report job for host XXX` 
• Monitor the task in Monitor -> Satellite tasks --> tasks page and also follow /var/log/foreman/production.log 

Actual Behavior:

The task execution starts and it manages to run these two steps successfully

ForemanInventoryUpload::Async::GenerateHostReport

ForemanInventoryUpload::Async::QueueForUploadJob

But then at 

ForemanInventoryUpload::Async::UploadReportJob

the task suspends. 

In production.log we get to see that The task retries after every 1 minute ( thrice ) and fails everytime with error like this:

and finally stops with an error result.

The exact same thing happens if i go to Administer --> Inventory Upload page and trigger and Generate and Upload job from there i.e. ForemanInventoryUpload::Async::GenerateReportJob

This job task also have an action for ForemanInventoryUpload::Async::UploadReportJob and that fails in the exact same way

Expected Behavior:

No such issues

Additional Info:

Go to Administer --> Inventory Upload page, expand the Organization , Go to Uploading tab and see there are two upload attempts happening:

1. 

> content-length: 8839
> content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------3e57737cebdf7ccd
>
* TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS header, Unknown (23):
} [5 bytes data]
* We are completely uploaded and fine

2. 

* The requested URL returned error: 401
* TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS header, Unknown (23):
} [5 bytes data]
* stopped the pause stream!
* Connection #0 to host cert.cloud.redhat.com left intact
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 401

this second attempt fails and perhaps curl exits with error 22 , which is what we see in the production.log as well 

2026-01-13T18:37:26 [W|bac|099f1092] Polling failed, attempt no. 1, retrying in 59

For a user with 1000s of hosts and Sat 6.18 with IoP enabled, would result into 1000s of paused tasks ( because of this issue )

Testing Steps

• Install a satellite 6.18 ( connected Non IoP ) and import a manifest into it
• Enable basic repos and sync
• Register at least one  insights enabled host
• Ensure satellite generates at least one upload to insights. Verify  uploader.sh file exists at (/var/lib/foreman/red_hat_inventory)
• Enable IoP
• Add firewall rule to not connect to cloud.redhat.com 
• RESTART SATELLITE SERVICES
• Update or Downgrade some packages on the client host followed by the execution of `dnf uploadprofile --force-upload` command and then that should triggers a `Single-host report job for host XXX` 
• Monitor the task in Monitor -> Satellite tasks --> tasks page and also follow /var/log/foreman/production.log 
• Make sure that we are not calling cloud.redhat.com
