Description of problem
======================

Skyring crashes when mongod service is not running.

While I understand that skyring requires mongodb to function properly,
null pointer error crash of skyring process is an unacceptable way to
handle this kind error state.

Version-Release number of selected component
============================================

# rpm -qa | grep rhscon
rhscon-ui-0.0.6-0.1.alpha1.el7.noarch
rhscon-core-0.0.6-0.1.alpha1.el7.x86_64
rhscon-ceph-0.0.4-0.1.alpha1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible
================

100%

Steps to Reproduce
==================

1. Install skyring on the server
2. Make sure mongod service is not running: `systemctl stop mongod`
3. Start skyring: `setsid skyring > ~/skyring.log 2>&1`
4. After a while, check /root/skyring.log file

note: in step 3, I start skyring daemon process manually because of BZ 1296123

Actual results
==============

Skyring process crashes. Also see this excerpt from skyring.log:


~~~
2016-01-15T15:48:58.925+01:00 INFO     main.go:177 start] Starting event listener
2016-01-15T15:50:00.636+01:00 CRITICAL db.go:41 InitDBSession] Error: no reachable servers
2016-01-15T15:50:00.636+01:00 ERROR    main.go:188 start] Unable to initialize DB
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x4849b4]
~~~

(full skyring.log file is attached to this BZ)

Expected results
================

Skyring process reports the issue in the log without crashing.

might be a duplicate of 1299009, at least very similar

(In reply to Jeff Applewhite from comment #3)
> might be a duplicate of 1299009, at least very similar

Yes, both issues are similar. That said, from my point of view,
I saw 2 issues which made skyring crash. Even if both issues were
fixed by a single patch, during verification I need to test
2 different scenarios (one for this BZ and 2nd for the other one).

Comment 5 Jeff Applewhite 2016-03-18 18:55:04 UTC
right - ok

Comment 7 Lubos Trilety 2016-07-19 19:37:17 UTC
I stopped mongod.service and make it not start-able and then run skyring.service

No null pointer crash anymore.
