All Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions include an RHN Update Entitlement, which provides a simple point and click interface to manage system updates and errata - complete with dependency checking, email errata notifications, and automatic update options. If you haven't already done so, register your system at any time by clicking the Red Hat Network icon on your desktop.

Management Entitlements

Manage your Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments efficiently with Red Hat Network. RHN Management Entitlements enable system grouping, role-based system permissions, scheduled actions, rollbacks, custom content channels (with permissions and management tools), and the ability to take your Red Hat Network service completely off the public Internet.

Monitoring Entitlements

Red Hat Network also offers an appliance-based, agentless tool to monitor your Linux infrastructure. RHN Monitoring Entitlements provide a holistic monitoring platform that can run on its own or easily integrate with your existing systems management platform.
