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 raju kumar 2018-04-03 13:35:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Sync status information is lost after cleaning up old tasks related to sync. For an example -
Suppose we synced five repository 7 days ago and if we go ahead and delete the tasks which were generated during the sync, The status will change from Syncing Complete to Never Synced in Sync Status page of Satellite WebUI.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.3


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync any repository, once synced its status will show as Syncing Complete in Sync Status page of Satellite WebUI.
2. Now go ahead and delete that particular task using task id- 
# foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup TASK_SEARCH='id = 4fbe2626-9378-49f4-9923-d86c43cc80e7'  VERBOSE=true
3. Now go ahead and check the Sync Status page of Satellite WebUI, that particular repository's status will get changed to Never Synced.

Actual results: Sync status shows as Never Synced


Expected results: Sync status should be shown as Syncing Complete
Comment 2 Brad Buckingham 2018-04-03 16:47:15 UTC 
This is expected behavior.  As observed, the task is what is used for determining the last sync.

Is there a reason this task is being deleted?
Comment 4 raju kumar 2018-04-03 17:09:15 UTC 
Hi Brad,

Customer needs to cleanup the old tasks in satellite due to the high number of registered devices and associated operations to each one. They have nearly ~10000 registered devices. That amount will increase to ~50000 in near future, and they do have many tasks for each of them. That will cause performance problems and waste of a lot of unneeded storage, as they don't need maintaining that quantity of what is supposed to be logs of already finished tasks. So for now they are cleaning up the tasks every 14 days. 

They have suggested One possible work around meanwhile the bug is not resolved would be to specify a TASK_SEARCH filter to ignore all the "Sync Repository" tasks.
