Last modified: 2016-11-30 19:31:58 EST
Description of problem: virt-who running in hyper-V mode normally, Check the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.log, everytime before "Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping",it will generate two line of "Using NTLM authentication" and "NTLM authentication successful" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-1.9.6-1.el6.x86_64 python-rhsm-1.9.6-1.el6.x86_64 virt-who-0.8-9.el6.noarch katello-headpin-1.4.3-15.el6sam_splice.noarch candlepin-0.8.26-1.el6sam.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare RHEL6.5 with latest virt-who installed. 2. Configure virt-who in Hyper-V mode as the following: [root@hp-z220-03 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/virt-who VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1 # Enable debugging output. VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1 VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=5 # Register ESX machines using vCenter VIRTWHO_HYPERV=1 # Option for ESX mode VIRTWHO_HYPERV_OWNER=ACME_Corporation VIRTWHO_HYPERV_ENV=Library VIRTWHO_HYPERV_SERVER=10.66.13.22 VIRTWHO_HYPERV_USERNAME=administrator VIRTWHO_HYPERV_PASSWORD=qwer1234P 3.Start virt-who service [root@hp-z220-03 ~]# service virt-who start [root@hp-z220-03 ~]# service virt-who status virt-who (pid 15975) is running... 4. Register the RHEL6.5 to SAM server # Subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=admin 5. Monitor the rhsm log : # tail -f /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log Actual results: it will generate the duplicate log info as the following: 2013-09-25 14:00:42,392 [DEBUG] @virt-who.py:522 - Starting infinite loop with 5 seconds interval and event handling 2013-09-25 14:00:42,396 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:215 - Using NTLM authentication 2013-09-25 14:00:42,404 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:242 - NTLM authentication successful 2013-09-25 14:00:43,239 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:89 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping: {'60527517-6284-7593-6AAB-75BF2A6375EF': []} 2013-09-25 14:00:44,036 [INFO] @virt-who.py:217 - Created host: 60527517-6284-7593-6AAB-75BF2A6375EF with guests: [] 2013-09-25 14:00:49,044 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:215 - Using NTLM authentication 2013-09-25 14:00:49,051 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:242 - NTLM authentication successful 2013-09-25 14:00:49,916 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:89 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping: {'60527517-6284-7593-6AAB-75BF2A6375EF': []} 2013-09-25 14:00:55,112 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:215 - Using NTLM authentication 2013-09-25 14:00:55,119 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:242 - NTLM authentication successful 2013-09-25 14:00:55,985 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:89 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping: {'60527517-6284-7593-6AAB-75BF2A6375EF': []} 2013-09-25 14:01:01,226 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:215 - Using NTLM authentication 2013-09-25 14:01:01,233 [DEBUG] @hyperv.py:242 - NTLM authentication successful 2013-09-25 14:01:02,084 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:89 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping: {'60527517-6284-7593-6AAB-75BF2A6375EF': []} Expected results: it shouldn't generate two line of "Using NTLM authentication" and "NTLM authentication successful" before "Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping" everytime. Additional info: virt-who running in the ESX , libvirt mode hasn't this problem.
I don't consider this as a bug. These two lines can be quite useful for debugging and since the messages are only on the DEBUG level, I think it's OK to have them there. On the other hand, it could be useful to increase the level of "Sending update..." log message to INFO. Do you agree with suggested solution?
Yes, I agree with you , increase the level of "Sending update..." log message to INFO should be more clear. (In reply to Radek Novacek from comment #2) > I don't consider this as a bug.
