Description Erik M Jacobs 2014-04-08 14:18:15 UTC

Description of problem:
snap 6 compose 2

When you first start syncing content, Pulp will fetch repodata from the upstream CDN and then start chewing on it. During this time, there is really nothing in the logs or in the UI regarding what's happening. It looks like Satellite is hung/stalled, but top will show that apache/wsgi is using a ton fo CPU power.

Eventually (several minutes -- 5-7+) you will get some status update in the UI.

It would be really beneficial to provide some indication on the sync status page about what's happening under the covers, especially during these times when pulp is doing "something" but providing no real feedback.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2014-04-08 14:25:37 UTC

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Comment 3 Brad Buckingham 2014-07-29 19:37:17 UTC

The sync management page is currently being updated to utilize dynflow.  Once that is completed, let's re-evaluate if this is still an issue.

Comment 4 Justin Sherrill 2014-07-31 14:08:48 UTC

   ejacobs | jsherrill: if you at least said "processing metadata" in the UI, that's better than what we've got       
   ejacobs | jsherrill: and if yuo show the package count / percentage, that's 1,000,000x better

Comment 5 Justin Sherrill 2014-07-31 14:15:15 UTC

Should be addressed by https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/4471

Comment 8 sthirugn@redhat.com 2014-09-04 14:12:58 UTC

Now when syncing puppet modules - I see "Total module count: 301." and the empty progress bar.   I also see dynflow tasks in Monitor -> Tasks - which also shows 0% and Output: Total module count: 301.  Is this what is expected?

Comment 10 sthirugn@redhat.com 2014-09-04 19:22:17 UTC

Failed. As per Comment 4 - "processing metadata" is not shown now.  I will revisit this bug depending on @ejacobs response.

Comment 11 sthirugn@redhat.com 2014-09-04 19:22:33 UTC

Version Tested:
GA Snap 7 - Satellite-6.0.4-RHEL-6-20140829.0

Comment 12 Mike McCune 2014-09-04 22:26:19 UTC

Puppet syncing is never going to be as informative as syncing RPM based content.

If we want to improve puppet syncing I'd vote we file a separate bug for this as the sync-mgmt page and Products -> Repos list is way more responsive now.

Can you reconsider VERIFYING this?

Comment 14 jcallaha 2015-02-13 18:25:45 UTC

Verified.

Version Tested:
Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-6-20150210.0

Comment 15 Bryan Kearney 2015-08-11 13:31:54 UTC

This bug is slated to be released with Satellite 6.1.
