Screenshot with the upload error

Description of problem:
When trying to upload an inventory using "Red Hat Inventory Uploads", the task fails with an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.6 (most likely affecting 6.5 as well)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a Satellite configured to use a proxy for reaching out to external website.
2. Install the inventory upload plugin
   foreman-maintain packages install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-*
3. From the Webui, navigate to "RH Inventory" > "Manage"
4. Click on "Restart" to generate a new inventory"
5. Click on "Uploading"

Actual results:
* Failed to connect to 184.29.117.205: Network is unreachable
* couldn't connect to host at cert.cloud.redhat.com:443
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 184.29.117.205: Network is unreachable
Uploaded files moved to done/ folder

Expected results:
If Satellite sits behind a proxy and it is correctly configured in Satellite, the inventory upload plugin should use it.

Additional info:
We should also document the requirements that https://cert.cloud.redhat.com need to be reachable

Hotfix RPM for Satellite 6.7.3

Hotfix RPM is available for Satellite 6.7.3. This hotfix causes the inventory upload plugin to source proxy server configuration from Satellite's settings.

Installation instructions:

1. Make a backup of Satellite server

2. Download the attached file tfm-rubygem-foreman_rh_cloud-1.0.9-2.HOTFIXRHBZ1781875.el7sat.noarch.rpm and copy it to Satellite server

3. # yum install ./tfm-rubygem-foreman_rh_cloud-1.0.9-2.HOTFIXRHBZ1781875.el7sat.noarch.rpm --disableplugin=foreman-protector

4. # systemctl restart httpd

Correction, this hotfix is for Satellite 6.7.2 which is the current latest release of Satellite 6.7

Comment 19 Patrick Creech 2020-09-03 15:45:37 UTC
Is there a 1.0.z version of rh_cloud with this fix in it?

Comment 20 Shimon Shtein 2020-09-07 15:30:28 UTC
Yes, the equivalent of 2.0.10 for 6.7 is 1.0.10

Comment 23 Mirek Długosz 2020-09-15 11:24:35 UTC
In Satellite 6.7.4, plugin will use Settings -> Content -> Default HTTP Proxy for report upload, and Settings -> General -> HTTP(S) proxy for hits and hosts availability sync from CRC.

There is upstream commit de6e0dcd4c7d056ff8ccc28f310afd082f72f996 that would make report upload use Settings -> Content -> Default HTTP Proxy and fall back to Settings -> General -> HTTP(S) proxy if first setting is not set. I reported bz#1874422 to tackle this discrepancy.

I am putting this bz to VERIFIED, since plugin in Satellite 6.7.4 does use proxy - but you need to set two different settings to get consistent behavior. Hopefully this will improve in future releases of plugin.


Tested on:
Satellite 6.7.4 snap 1
pulp-server-2.21.0.4-1.el7sat.noarch
foreman-1.24.1.28-2.el7sat.noarch
satellite-6.7.4-1.el7sat.noarch
katello-3.14.0-6.el7sat.noarch
tfm-rubygem-foreman_rh_cloud-1.0.10-1.el7sat.noarch
