SUSECONNECT(5)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so welcome to SUSECONNECT(5), bestie 💖 — this is the SUSEConnect page, aka the SUSE Customer Center registration tool config file. Iconic behavior only.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

/etc/SUSEConnect is the config file for the SUSE registration tool SUSEConnect. This file allows the registration of the base product that is installed on the system. NB: using this file, registration of extensions is not supported. Periodt — base product only, no extension side quests.

---

🎀 FORMAT 🎀

The file is in [YAML][yaml-spec] format. Very demure, very structured.

✨ Basic Configuration ✨

Example — copy this energy, not necessarily these exact collector states, iykyk:

---
url: https://scc.suse.com
language: en
insecure: false
auto_agree_with_licenses: false
enable_system_uptime_tracking: false
no_zypper_refs: false

collectors:
  pci_data:
    state: disabled
  mod_list:
    state: disabled
  rpm_packages:
    state: enabled

The top-level fields are as follows — every single one, no skipping:

• url: (optional) URL of the registration server. Corresponds to the --url argument to SUSEConnect. Defaults to https://scc.suse.com
• language: (optional) Language code to use for error messages

🧚 Collector Configuration 🧚

SUSEConnect collects data about your system for registration and support purposes. Certain collectors are mandatory and cannot be disabled, while optional collectors can be configured. It’s giving “we need the tea for registration and support” 💅

👑 Mandatory Collectors 👑

The following collectors are always enabled and cannot be disabled — main character energy, no opt-out:
