Research direction
Start by reading /usr/lib/perfsonar/scripts/system_environment/testpoint/enable_auto_updates and trace how the private dashboard determines the automatic-update status. Compare the existing yum-cron handling with the EL9 dnf-automatic setup described in the issue. Done means EL9 systems can enable and report automatic updates correctly, with the dashboard no longer showing Auto Updates - OFF incorrectly.

Description
On an EL9 system (Alma 9, in my case) , yum-cron no longer exists, and is replaced with dnf-automatic. However, /usr/lib/perfsonar/scripts/system_environment/testpoint/enable_auto_updates still attempts to enable autopdates via yum-cron files, and the dashboard incorrectly shows "Auto Updates - OFF".
I haven't been able to find the code responsible for that, or I'd probably have a patch here, too...
