Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
- is '--profile' necessary to reproduce?
- what happens if you run the ausearch command on the problem host via ssh?
I'm assuming the -k general.. stuff is irrelevant? It's best to remove this from the bug reports as it can be confusing (it should have no effect at all on the test you are carrying out).
Please can you capture the output of "ps ax --forest" and attach it to this bug.
it reproduces also if the command is reduced to
ssh 10.34.66.51 "/usr/sbin/sosreport -vvvvv --batch -o selinux"
if I use
ssh 10.34.66.51 "ausearch -m avc,user_avc -ts today"
it gets stuck
ps ax --forest from affected node is attahced, it was taken while running ssh 10.34.66.51 "/usr/sbin/sosreport -vvvvv --batch -o selinux" from another node
This seems more of a bug in ausearch than sos then. If anything we should use this bugzilla to backport the command timeout support we now have in upstream sos-3.x.
Have you filed a bug against the audit component for the ausearch-over-ssh problem?
Not if we're going to use it to add generic timeout support to sos (which would prevent this whole class of problems by abandoning processes that go out-to-lunch on us).
I would prefer creating a new bug clearly stating that it is RFE for adding command timeout feature. For that feature, all the details from above comments are unnecessary and will just eat our time later when processing the bug.
