Description of problem:
Since updating to 6.12.2 Update (RHBA-2023:0668, the VMware Plugin creates a huge amount of (sleeping) user sessions to our vCenter which makes our vCenter unusable in a short amount of time after starting Satellite.
Before updating to 6.12.2, everything was ok. There is no particular action, which triggers this issue. It happens immediately after starting Satellite.
Every single connection only triggers 1 API invocation (seen in vCenter).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite: 6.12.2
How reproducible:
100% (every start of Satellite)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Satellite
2. Don't do anything special
3. vCenter has >100 connections from Satellite which effectively DoS'es it.
Actual results:
Satellite creates a large number of long running connections, which makes our vCenter unusable.
Expected results:
Satellite does not DoS our vCenter
Additional info:
vCenter: Version: 7.0.3.01300 Build-Number: 21290409
I noticed that the foreman-vmware plugin was updated to 3.3.0.20 in RHBA-2023:0668.
