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).

Foreman Issue Tracker 25036 0 Normal Closed puppet agent starts before installer registers capsule to satellite and fails with registering the host 2021-02-04 20:22:14 UTC

Description Roman Plevka 2018-08-24 10:56:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
satellite-installer --scenario capsule
ends up with capsule added to satellite, but fails to add the capsule host to "/hosts" - 
this seems to be caused by puppet agent being started before the capsule registration occurs:

[ WARN 2018-08-23T17:13:49 verbose]  /Stage[main]/Puppet::Agent::Service::Daemon/Service[puppet]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running'
...
[ WARN 2018-08-23T17:14:02 verbose]  /Stage[main]/Foreman_proxy::Register/Foreman_smartproxy[zlw1-capsule.redhat.com]/ensure: created

- the agent tries to send the host facts and receives 403 errors, which are ignored:

- rerunning the installer helps, since the capsule already exists.

I was unable to reproduce this on SNAP 22.

1) Create RHEL 7.5 VM

2) register to Satellite

3) install capsule

4) run installer:

#   satellite-installer --scenario capsule\
>                       --foreman-proxy-content-parent-fqdn           "****"\
>                       --foreman-proxy-register-in-foreman           "true"\
>                       --foreman-proxy-foreman-base-url              "****"\

>                       --foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-key            "****"\

>                       --foreman-proxy-content-certs-tar             "****"\
>                       --puppet-server-foreman-url                   "****"

5) No errors in log:

6) Check Satellite:

# hammer host list  | grep cap.example.com

Roman, can you re-test this on the latest SNAP and ensure that your Capsule was 100% updated to the latest packages in RHEL 7.5 before attempting an install?
Comment 5 Evgeni Golov 2018-09-21 09:42:42 UTC 
@Mike, this is most probably a race condition somewhere in the installer.
Comment 6 Roman Plevka 2018-09-21 12:29:43 UTC 
@Mike,
the requests resulting in 403 can be seen in production.log on satellite side.
the capsule installer log in my description are to demonstrate the timestamp of the puppet agent service up and smart proxy create events (agent started up sooner than the capsule was created and wanted to post the host facts, which failed quietly with 403).

the request and the 403 response is from the production.log on the satellite side.

- i can reproduce this behaviour like every single time.
- the reason why you can see the host there is because you register the machine first (which creates the host record). i know one should do this, but that hides the issue => those puppet agent facts are unable to be sent out before the capsule record gets created.
- if they were fired after it, the host record would be created as well.
Comment 7 Evgeni Golov 2018-09-24 13:35:52 UTC 
I can actually reproduce this in our pipeline, as we register the capsule to dogfood, not to the newly installed satellite.
Comment 11 Evgeni Golov 2018-09-25 18:20:43 UTC 
Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25036 from this bug
Comment 13 Bryan Kearney 2020-05-01 13:31:29 UTC 
Satellite 6.4 is now End of Life. These bus will not be fixed on the 6.4 stream. Users of Satellite should upgrade to the latest version of Satellite to get access to the most current set of bugfixes and feature improvements.
