Description Devendra Singh 2019-12-09 13:52:21 UTC
Description of problem:

There was no in-between processing percentage(It starts with "0" and after 4 to 5 minutes suddenly reached 100%, there is no in-between number 1% 2%....99%) displayed while we applying the particular deployment size.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.7.0

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. triggered "foreman-installer --tuning default" command on 6.7 setup
2. The installation progress bar started from 0 and after 4 to 5 minutes it suddenly reached 100, So here the in-between percentage was missing.


Actual results:
The processing percentage was not displayed. 

Expected results:
Processing percentage should be displayed

Can you attach an installer log so that we can see what steps were taking the longest and showing no progress?

Comment 5 sthirugn@redhat.com 2020-01-20 15:59:49 UTC
Can you check if this is still happening? I can see progress bar in satellite-cli-6.7.0-4.beta.el7sat.noarch:

# satellite-installer --tuning medium --disable-system-checks

Yes, it is still happening, 
the percentage value starts from 0% and after 1 to 2 minutes the progress reached 100%, but the in-between value like 1%, 5%, 50%, 65% 99% are missing.

how would I know the percentage of completion(1%, 5%, 7%....60%...99%) if it has only two value 0(beginning) and 100(ending)?

If you check the foreman-installer or satellite-installer in 6.6, 6.5 it works perfectly.

Comment 7 sthirugn@redhat.com 2020-01-20 16:57:03 UTC
Hello Devendra,
Yes, I see it moves from 0% to 100% quickly. I am not sure if this is because the installer is running quickly.

Ewoud, thoughts?

Comment 8 Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden 2020-01-20 17:19:14 UTC
The progress bar works by counting the amount of resources to monitor via MONITOR_RESOURCE. Then it looks at 'Starting to evaluate the resource' and Evaluated in [\d\.]+ seconds. I can see the MONITOR_RESOURCE lines in the log but not the evaluation which suggests it doesn't log those anymore. That means it can't update the progress. From the log it appears it wasn't an instant run so that can't explain it (Applied catalog in 126.32 seconds) but I don't see anything else.

https://github.com/theforeman/kafo/blob/master/lib/kafo/progress_bar.rb

The git changes to kafo don't suggest changes in this area, but it must be noted that in upstream this isn't really tested anymore. With Puppet 6 the hacks applied to Puppet no longer work and no progress bar is present. Downstream still uses Puppet 5 so there is still a progress bar present.

Comment 9 Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden 2020-01-21 15:45:16 UTC
To the person who's diving into this (which may very well be me), I'd make sure puppet evaltrace is enabled. Whether it's via a command line switch or a configuration option.

On a slightly related note, Puppet 6.6.0 implements the progress directly via evaltrace which means we can also implement this on Puppet 6. https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6465
