Description of problem:
virt-who -c help to specify a dedicated configuration file to be parsed.
Using -c option, all of the configuration specified in virt-who.conf and virt-who.d/* are parsed as well.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.4, virt-who-0.19-7.el7_4.noarch
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write some virt-who entry in /etc/virt-who.conf file or in /etc/virt-who.d/*.conf file
2. run virt-who -c /otherpath/file
Actual results:
Currently virt-who will add all of the configuration from virt-who.conf and virt-who.d, plus the configuration from -c command line option
Expected results:
Only the -c file should be parsed.
Additional info:
From the man VIRT-WHO-CONFIG(5)
"""
-c CONFIGS, --config=CONFIGS
Configuration file that will be processed, can be used
multiple times
"""
There is no mention to parsing (or not) of defaults files.
The problem should be likely addressed at
https://github.com/virt-who/virt-who/blob/744a6c9f39b01a3a1a42f691ef3971f5ecc5fabd/virtwho/config.py#L1376
While for RHEL 7.4 should be in config.py, line 530
"""
try:
all_dir_content = set(os.listdir(config_dir))
"""
HTH
Workaround is to rename/move config files temporarily. Recent versions of virt-who (virt-who-0.19-5 or newer) will ignore files whose names don't end in ".conf"...
