Description Jan Hutař 2012-08-01 12:30:09 UTC
Description of problem:
I see some reoccurring error messages in TSDBLocalQueue-errors.log.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nocpulse-common-2.2.4-1.el5sat
tsdb-1.27.27-2.el5sat


How reproducible:
1 of 1


Steps to Reproduce:
1. I have enabled monitoring and MonitoringScout
2. Created probe suite and 2 probes ("General: Check Nothing" and "Network Services: Ping")
3. Pushed Scout config
4. I have deleted the probes
5. Re-pushed Scout config
6. I have been monitoring logs during this


Actual results:
# tail /var/log/nocpulse/TSDBLocalQueue-errors.log
[...]

Message is there 10 times with ~60seconds between each of these 10 pieces.


Expected results:
No such messages in the log.


Additional info:
I have tried to check this on 5.4.1 and besides other errors I have not seen this one, but not saying my reproducer was 100% same.

What does

# locate MethodMaker.pm | xargs rpm -qf

print?

Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2012-08-01 13:45:40 UTC
Making bugzilla public.

Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2012-08-01 13:52:30 UTC
Fixed in Spacewalk master, 1ccd5bcffce9f43d1fce0a8d00878f25af660dac.

Also two similar changes in d3615b7487e167ef9e6e17a242b1a6cbab6e5dbf.

Comment 5 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2012-08-01 13:57:35 UTC
I believe that this issue is RHEL 5 specific (due to the version of Class::MakeMaker we have there). When trying to determine whether this is a regression, please make sure you are doing it on the same RHEL version where this problem was observed, and also use the same version for verification.

Of course, also verifying that on RHEL 6 the problem is not present with both the original and the fixed package would be good.
