Description of problem: In case ::Actions::Insights::EmailPoller task is stopped (due to whatever error or user (wrong) intervention), (re)starting foreman-tasks service should ensure re-spawning the task. This feature is already present for ListenOnCandlepinEevents (LOCE) task, as well as for MonitoQueue::Listener one. It should be available also for the last forever-running/pending task in Satellite. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Sat 6.2.12 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Somehow stop that task, e.g. manually Cancel it 2. service foreman-tasks restart 3. Check if that task is running Actual results: An instance of that task type is running or scheduled, most probably it is in stopped/error state. Expected results: An instance of that task type should be in scheduled/pending state. Additional info:
Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/21421 from this bug
Linking KCS with workaround.
In that case, the tasks issue should describe the changes needed to be done one tasks side. Wouldn't the solution be insights using the same approach as LOCE?
(In reply to Ivan Necas from comment #5) > In that case, the tasks issue should describe the changes needed to be done on tasks side. Makes sense, I'll file a new BZ which will block this one and turn this one over to Insights. > Wouldn't the solution be insights using the same approach as LOCE? Not really, LOCE and EQM should be running all the time. IEP is different, it should be triggered once a week and do some kind of one-shot action. We could convert it to an always-running action which would be suspended most of the time but I think it would cause more trouble than its worth.
Created another BZ[1] to handle things on tasks side, leaving this BZ for changes which would need to go into insights.
The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.
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.
