RED Hat insight : How to add epel repository to be available to a new host

[DavidPoulin79]

Hi,

we are new to Red hat and are building our first server and installing some basic tools like monitoring or other. One of them is splunk forwarder and a Nmon app that recuired "ncurses-compat-libs".

If my understanding is right, that lib are part of the EPEL repository that is no more part of Red Hat.

How and where i need to add the EPEL repository so my host can find the ncurses-compat-libs package when we do a "sudo dnf install ncurses-compat-libs". Actually we get this as answer

Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Last metadata expiration check: 0:36:43 ago on Fri 15 Nov 2024 09:47:55 AM EST.
No match for argument: ncurses-compat-libs
Error: Unable to find a match: ncurses-compat-libs

Not sure if am right, but i'm assuming i need to add the repos somewhere before the host can see it....and i hope it can be centralized using RH Insight....

Can someone help a begginner

@Chetan_Tiwary_ Thank for the article.

I was wondering if there is a way using the Red Hat hybrid console instead of directly to the host and 1 by 1?

Like we can add repositories to an activation key, so all hosts related to that would benefit it...

Is it the way to do it normally ? or there is no way directly in hydrid console
