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 of problem:
Satellite 6.5 is configured with InfoBlox integration. The Infoblox architecture is complex (HA, multiple nodes) so requests take some time to come back. It's a common situation to run into timeouts while provisioning clients.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.5
How reproducible:
100%
Actual results:
===
Create IPv4 DNS record for client.example.com task failed with the following error: ERF12-2357 [ProxyAPI::ProxyException]: Unable to set DNS entry ([RestClient::Exceptions::ReadTimeout]: Timed out reading data from server) for Capsule https://satellite.example.com:9090/dns
===
Expected results:
The client created successfully
Additional info:
Lzap advised on increasing timeout by changing the code as a workaround
For the record, this did not help to the customer and it looks like timeout is caused by something else. Currently it looks like a stale HTTP connection.
I am turning this BZ into the correct problem - it was not caused by read timeout from Infoblox API but rather by system DNS resolver unable to resolve name which is done by common DNS smart proxy code. We are going to refactor the DNS API in a way that Infoblox module can override the DNS check and provide API call instead real DNS UDP comm.
For the record, short term solution until we fix this bug is tracked at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1720200
I am proposing this short term solution (environmental variable defining a DNS server to use) into 6.5 update.
