Problem
As an IT admin, I want to be able to tell which Linux users need to reinstall their OS (because their disk isn't encrypted; see limitations on #22074), vs. users who just need to walk through the escrow process, when looking at disk encryption stats.
What have you tried?
Right now both of the above states wind up in Action Required (pending). You can click through and look at hosts one by one for disk encryption status (if the disk is encrypted, all they need is to escrow), but there's no way to differentiate in the UI before then as you can't add a column for disk encryption status to the hosts list view.
Potential solutions
Either split the Action Required status into "Action Required (Encrypt)" and "Action Required (Escrow)" or have a single line item that splits host counts on a tooltip for Linux. Catch with the latter option is we'd want host counts inside the tooltip linked so admins can view a list of hosts for each individual required action.
What is the expected workflow as a result of your proposal?
As an IT admin, I can see which Linux hosts' users need to be nudged to walk through the excrow process, which hosts need to be rebuilt with encryption enabled, and how many of each I have to deal with for a given team.
