RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 of problem:
There are some datas can't be dumped by json module, so cloud-init print an error log, and cloud-init can't write data to instance-data.json. This issue is same as bz#1631167
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7.7
cloud-init-18.2-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
cloud-init-18.5-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a vm on OpenStack with cloud-init installed
2. Login the vm and check cloud-init's log
Actual results:
2019-08-21 10:51:45,040 - __init__.py[WARNING]: Error persisting instance-data.json: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfa in position 0: invalid start byte
Expected results:
There shoudn't be this error log and can successfully write data to instance-data.json
Additional info:
Below is a part of code of /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/sources/__init__.py(I add some code into it to print some log)
def get_data(self):
"""Datasources implement _get_data to setup metadata and userdata_raw.
Minimally, the datasource should return a boolean True on success.
"""
return_value = self._get_data()
json_file = os.path.join(self.paths.run_dir, INSTANCE_JSON_FILE)
if not return_value:
return return_value
instance_data = {
'ds': {
'meta-data': self.metadata,
'user-data': self.get_userdata_raw(),
'vendor-data': self.get_vendordata_raw()}}
instance_data.update(
self._get_standardized_metadata())
try:
LOG.error("===========")
LOG.error(str(instance_data))
LOG.error("===========")
# Process content base64encoding unserializable values
content = util.json_dumps(instance_data)
# Strip base64: prefix and return base64-encoded-keys
processed_data = process_base64_metadata(json.loads(content))
except TypeError as e:
LOG.warning('Error persisting instance-data.json: %s', str(e))
return return_value
except UnicodeDecodeError as e:
LOG.warning('Error persisting instance-data.json: %s', str(e))
return return_value

Due to the value of "random_seed" can't be handled by json, so cloud-init print the error log.
