Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Description Mike McCune 2016-05-11 05:36:47 UTC 
Currently if Pulp or Candlepin are shut down there is no way upon logging into the UI to know that these required services are not functioning properly.

We need to have a banner, notification or error shown in a very obvious way that the 2 services required for operation are not functioning.
Comment 1 Evgeni Golov 2016-05-11 07:16:35 UTC 
Same for MongoDB, but if that fails you will probably also see Pulp failing.
Comment 4 Mike McCune 2016-08-04 20:53:27 UTC 
We are going to close out https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212555 as a dupe of this bug and expand the scope a bit to include some basic monitoring of resources required for Satellite 6 to function.

*** Bug 1212555 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 8 Mike McCune 2016-08-08 21:53:58 UTC 
This bug needs to not only cover subsystem availability but also monitor for critical levels of the following resources on the Satellite itself:

 * Disk Space
 * RAM Usage

CPU usage is not necessarily something we need to warn against as that can be a complex metric to determine when it is in a critical state.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.

Comment 13 Oliver Falk 2019-05-10 10:13:32 UTC 
Hi!

I'm reopening this RHBZ against RHSAT 6.5, since I was just about to enter a similar request.

I've personally encountered it in the past with my test RHSAT instances, but also seen cases where some kind of low level monitoring would have probably prevented that a customer runs into an issue and opens some case afterwards.

I'm not talking about a full-blown monitoring solution for all systems available in RHSAT. That's something that needs to be implemented depending on the customer needs and therefore is completely out of scope here.

What I'd like to see in RHSAT is the following:
* Are all processes up and running?
* Can all Capsules be reached?
* Do we have enough disk space available for PostgreSQL?
* "                                          Squid? (A problem I really keep running into)
* Memory usage OK?
* CPU load (eventually)?

Especially the disk space monitoring for the DB and Squid would have some huge impact on cases. If the DB runs into issues, because it cannot write any more, this can easily lead to an inconstant DB. If Squid cannot write in the file system any longer, this leads to pretty strange error messages, while (eg) provisioning a new machine.

All that said, please reconsider having some basic monitoring in RHSAT UI for RHSAT.

Oliver

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
