Description Eko 2016-02-16 05:19:38 UTC
Description of problem:
virt-who will check the host/guests changes with 900s loop, even if the interval value is 3600s

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.8-20160212.2 + ESX + Satellite
virt-who-0.16-3.el6.noarch
subscription-manager-1.16.8-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. config VIRTWHO_INTERVAL to 3600, such as:
VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=3600
VIRTWHO_ESX=1
VIRTWHO_ESX_OWNER=ACME_Corporation
VIRTWHO_ESX_ENV=Library
VIRTWHO_ESX_SERVER=10.73.2.95
VIRTWHO_ESX_USERNAME=Administrator
VIRTWHO_ESX_PASSWORD=Welcome1!

2. restart virt-who service
# /etc/init.d/virt-who restart

3. check rhsm.log
# tail -f /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log

Actual results:
the interval value is 3600s, but the really loop time is 900s

Expected results:
virt-who should check the host/guests changes each 3600s
