Bug 1603706

Waldirio, I see one error in the candlepin log file:

RROR org.hornetq.core.server - HQ224016: Caught exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't write records bigger than the bufferSize(102400) on the journal

I would recommend setting the 
candlepin.audit.hornetq.large_msg_size
property in the /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf file to something larger than 102400 and see if it makes a difference. 

Please try setting that value to 1024000 and see if that fixes the problem.

Waldirio, if setting the larger value does not not fix the problem please scan the candlepin log file for new errors If you are no longer seeing the HQ224016 error (or something else that stands out) in the candlepin log then the next place to look would be the foreman log.

On my reproducer increasing large_msg_size to 1024000 as per c#4 resolves the failed upload issue.


I'll be attaching log files and virt-who -o output files (in a tarball) following this scheme:

* Running virt-who on the capsule, identified as $CAPSULE on the logs
* Two hypervisors, $HYPERVISOR01 and $HYPERVISOR02
* Two virt-who config files, virt-who-config-1.conf and virt-who-config-2.conf pointing to respective hypervisors.


Run virt-who -o -c virt-who-config-1.conf on capsule, capture command output on capsule command line and production.log on satellite.
* Files:
   - virt-who-hypervisor01.log
   - virt-who-1-output.out


Run virt-who -o -c virt-who-config-2.conf on capsule, capture command output on capsule command line and production.log on satellite.
* Files:
   - virt-who-hypervisor02.log
   - virt-who-2-output.out


Run virt-who -o on capsule, capture output, and production.log on satellite with a backtrace:
* Files:
   - virt-who-all-together-07.log
   - virt-who-all-together-output-07.out



Add line to /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf:

 candlepin.audit.hornetq.large_msg_size=1024000

Restart tomcat service, run virt-who -o a few times on capsule (see why below).

Then run virt-who -o on capsule, capture command output, and production.log with no backtrace.
* Files:
   - virt-who-all-together.log
   - virt-who-all-together-output.out



## NOTE: not every run of virt-who was failing before modifying the config file, only between 20% and 50% of runs were failing.

## NOTE 2: after modifying candlepin config file to increase or decrease large_msg_size the first run of virt-who goes as if no modification was made.

Example:

1. Candlepin is running with increased large_msg_size=1024000. No tracebacks on the logs after 10 runs of virt-who -o.
2. Reduce large_msg_size by commenting out the line in candlepin conf file.
3. Restart tomcat
4. Run virt-who -o, no traceback appears.
5. Run virt-who -o again 30 seconds after the last one finished, get a traceback.
6. Further runs of virt-who -o will produce a traceback between 20% and 50% of the time.

This BZ has become far too unwieldy. Customer issues are attached simply because there is a problem with virt-who and not because of the specific scenario. This will not help get the issues resolved, just the opposite. Individual problems are likely to be ignored.


If the issue is about a db error in candlepin because the IN clause is too large you should use:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1599752


If the issue is that you are using multiple users to do hypervisor updates for one org, instead of a single one, you should use:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1667545


If the issue is that you are trying to submit a hypervisor in the report that does not have a value for the field you have chosen as the hostname then you should use:
