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.

Across our environment, we see occasional failures to upload data to redhat-access-insights for various reasons.  The problem is that when such failures occur, temp directories are left in /var/tmp.  I have found some node with dozens of these which have accumulated over several months.

We can tmpwatch the directory, but since the top-level directory doesn't have a special prefix, it's hard to specifically target directories generated by RHAI.

So I'm suggesting two things here:

1) When an upload fails, remove the temp dir (people might want a boolean config option for this)
2) name the temp dir with a prefix, maybe "rhai-", so we can more easily find and delete these.

Hi,

please, could you share the information on

1) how was this BZ fixed and
2) how to test it?

Thanks!

Hi Martin,

This BZ was fixed by

1) Always deleting the archive after upload
2) An exit handler that will delete temporary files if the upload is interrupted

Both, will, however retain the archive if "--keep-archive" is specified.

Path 1 can be tested by running a normal upload, path 2 can be tested by canceling the upload with a Ctrl+C interrupt.
