Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25747 from this bug Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25747 has been resolved. The case recently attached if for a customer who is interested in shorter intervals than one hour. They would like as short as 1 minute. They have done with manually, but believe that other customers with smaller deployments would benefit.
"Yes, unfortunately there's no events to trigger virt-who to update the guest's UUID immediately after adding a guest with ESX mode.
>>> You can set shorter checking interval as a workaround (--interval option or VIRTWHO_INTERVAL in /etc/sysconfig/virt-who).
We need a 2 minutes interval or so for us to be able to provision new virtual machines that can get registered with the sattelite/pulp.
Hammer cli and the web inteface only let you set higher intervals like :
[root@satellite-02 ~]# hammer virt-who-config update --name afis-devops --interval 1
Could not create the Virt Who configuration:
Error: Option '--interval': Value must be one of '60', '120', '240', '480', '720'..
(which are minutes, as observed, not seconds as documented)
Workaround :
I edited the DB directly :
psql: update foreman_virt_who_configure_configs set interval=1 where id = 1;
^ this will result in a 60 secs VIRTWHO_INTERVAL.
Thus now, unless you modify the conf via web interface you can run
#hammer virt-who-config deploy --id 1
without overwriting the 60 secs interval.
And you can now seem to be able use hammer to update the other params without touching the interval.
How can we set lower intervals ?
I think at least 1, 5 and 30 minutes would be soem useful settings for small deployments."
Satellite includes temporary subscriptions which help with provisioning guests which are EXPLICITLY designed to prevent customers from running virt-who too frequently. 6.2.11 and earlier had a 1 day temporary sub 6.2.12 and newer had a 7 day temporary sub If the user feels the need to run virt-who very frequently, it is indicative of their activation keys being busted. See https://access.redhat.com/blogs/1169563/posts/2867891 for guidance on configuring activation keys.
