Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Description Tom McKay 2017-04-05 16:54:51 UTC

Having a conf file in /etc/virt-who.d as well as specifying one via the --config results in no json being sent to server.

To reproduce put a conf in /etc/virt-who.d/devel.conf as well as copying it locally and then referencing it as --config (either in place there or copying it locally). Note that no results will be sent to server.

Now remove the conf in /etc/virt-who.d and run again w/ --config. Note that json is sent to server.

Comment 2 Chris Snyder 2017-04-05 20:00:15 UTC

The fix for this will be to ensure in the above case, virt-who still sends 
reports.

The historical behaviour is to start multiple processes (one for each config) despite the fact that these configs are identical. I believe this should be fixed but as it is historical, it should be an RFE.
