Description of problem: Currently in katello we want to display for a large set of repositories: a) The current sync status if it is syncing now b) The status of the last sync if the repository is not syncing To get this we have to for each repository: 1) search for tasks by tag, for the repo and syncing tag 2) if nothing is returned, look up the repo's sync history This is very time consuming for a large number of repositories, as worst case we have to go to the server 2x per repo. Ideally we could pass a list of repo_ids and get all of the tasks we would want to fit this criteria.
Since the two bugs that are listed here as dependencies as for future Satellite (I assume after 6.0.0), does that mean we can push this RFE off of our upcoming 2.4 release? We are building a beta, and we would like to avoid adding new features after we enter beta.
Randy, sat6-pulp-future is currently designated for items desired for Sat 6.0 GA. It's my understanding that Pulp 2.4 is the release slated for GA, so we would appreciate this not being pushed off of 2.4's release :) -Justin
We have a new task search API that might solve this. We have another BZ to document that API, at which point we can look at whether it provides what you need. I suspect it can be used to search for tasks for a list of repos, which I think is all you need.
Here's an example request to get all running and finished tasks for two specific repos with 1 query using the search API. The search API is located here: http://pulp-dev-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/integration/rest-api/dispatch/task.html#searching-for-tasks Here is the curl command I used: curl -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -k -u admin:admin -d @search.json 'https://localhost/pulp/api/v2/tasks/search/' | python -m json.tool Here are the contents of search.json { "criteria": { "filters": {"tags": {"$in": ["pulp:repository:zoo", "pulp:repository:sat6-tools"]}, "state": {"$in": ["running", "finished"]}}, "skip": 0, "fields": ["id", "task_type", "tags", "state"]} }
