Description John Dupuy 2019-07-17 18:59:03 UTC
Description of problem:
When deleting an Azure instance, this results in the event "virtualMachines_delete_EndRequest" being received by CFME from Azure. About 50% of the time, the vm_name and vm_or_template_id will be NULL for this event. However, the vm_ems_ref will be populated, and will display the correct instance name. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.10.7.1, but seems to be present in all 5.10 builds

How reproducible:
50%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Azure to CFME
2. Provision an instance 
3. Delete the instance and wait about 10 min
4. Run the following query in the "vmdb_production" db:

select id, event_type, vm_or_template_id, vm_name, vm_ems_ref from event_streams where source='AZURE' and event_type='virtualMachines_delete_EndRequest';

Actual results:
"vm_or_template_id" and "vm_name" are not always filled, but the VM's name is still in the "vm_ems_ref"

Expected results:
These fields should be filled with the relevant info. 

Additional info:
The result of these fields not being filled means that the events won't appear on the timelines of the VM. 


This is likely related to BZ 1724312.

Hey Alex I think we talked about this and just need to set the vm name when an event is "reconnected" to events after an ems_refresh

Comment 5 Alexander Zagaynov 2019-07-24 15:00:41 UTC
John, if instance is deleted, there should not be a `VmOrTemplate` record in our database. Therefore we can not refer to `vm_or_template_id`, and we have no `vm_name`.
However, we can and do keep external reference, because we know it from Azure.

What about reconnection, Adam mentioned in the comment #4 - it is solved by https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/pull/19031

Steps to reproduce (in dev env):
- evm should be stopped
- Run related MiQ's EventCatcher
- Create VM on Azure side
- We should see events for this VM in our databaseб without internal vm reference and it's name, but with external vm reference
- We should not see this vm in our database, because refresh worker was not running
- Run refresh worker
- We should see that this event record now has vm name and internal reference
- We should see this vm in our database

I just tested in 5.11.0.17 and I am still not convinced this is fixed, seeing similar results as to when I originally reported the BZ after provisioning and deleting a VM 5 times.

http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/785244

I.e. similar results as those reported in bug 1733384

    Set the vm_uid_ems in the event parser if it's a VM.

    Add check for vm_uid_ems in event parser specs.

    (cherry picked from commit fe5dc6364b7f98477d77cfc06b78fd0a3ed28ae1)

Verified in CFME 5.11.0.19, I tested with by creating and deleting 5 VMs. The events were received every time (though sometimes out of order) and each of them was associated with the vm_name and vm_or_template_id. 

Thanks for all the work on this BZ!

Results:
vmdb_production=# select id, event_type, vm_name, vm_or_template_id, source from event_streams where event_type = 'virtualMachines_delete_EndRequest'; 
 id  |            event_type             |   vm_name    | vm_or_template_id | source
