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:
Having a playbook with "metrics_query_service: yes" or "metrics_graph_service: yes" installs and configures pcp/pmproxy, but does not start the pmproxy service.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* RHEL-8.3.0-20200701.2
* pcp-5.1.1-3.el8
* rhel-system-roles-1.0-16.el8
How reproducible:
* always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rhel-system-roles-1.0-16.el8 and ansible
2. Run a playbook using "linux-system-roles.metrics" role having set variable "metrics_query_service: yes" and/or "metrics_graph_service: yes". An example of such a playbook is attached to this bug (see "tests_fullstack.yml").
Actual results:
pmproxy service is installed and configured, but not started
Expected results:
The "linux-system-roles.metrics" with set variables "metrics_query_service: yes" or "metrics_graph_service: yes" should install configure and start the following services:
* pmcd
* pmlogger
* pmie
* pmproxy
* redis
* grafana-server
Additional info:
The issue IMO is in pmproxy.yml tasks file, which is missing explicit start of the pmproxy service. I am attaching fixed pmproxy.yml file to this bug.
Yep, good catch Jan!
And I believe fix is correct too except for a minor cut+paste problem where it mentions pmie in the description instead of pmproxy.
I'll update that and get this merged in the upstream repositories today.
