Description of problem * Verification and validation of an active tuned(8) profile is a two fold issue: 1) $ tuned-adm(8) verify - Does not seem to validate all configuration settings done by an active profile. Ex. while verifying 'realtime' profiles, tuned(8) calls respective 'script.sh verify' function via 'plugin_script.py' plugin. === $ sort -t'.' -k2 /tmp/tuned.log | awk -f tlog.awk |less [tuned.plugins.plugin_script:] calling script '/usr/lib/tuned/realtime/script.sh' with arguments '['verify']' calling script '/usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/script.sh' with arguments '['verify']' verify: passed: '['/usr/lib/tuned/realtime/script.sh', '/usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/script.sh']' === - But respective script.sh:verify() functions do not validate parameters set by start() functions. 2) $ tuned-adm(8) verify - Does not offer convenient user-interface/interaction for users to be able to see and confirm that tuned-adm(8) verify is working well. - It does not present verification results to a user properly. Verification results get logged to the /var/log/tnued/tuned.log file. === # tuned-adm verify Verification failed, current system settings differ from the preset profile. You can mostly fix this by restarting the Tuned daemon, e.g.: systemctl restart tuned or service tuned restart Sometimes (if some plugins like bootloader are used) a reboot may be required. See tuned log file ('/var/log/tuned/tuned.log') for details. === Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.4 Beta (Ootpa) $ rpm -q tuned tuned-2.15.0-2.el8.noarch $ $ tuned --versio tuned 2.15.0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install tuned 2. activate realtime profile 3. run tuned-adm verify Expected results: - Make it easy for users to validate active profile settings with certainty.
Created attachment 1770610 [details] tuned-realtime-profiles-script-verify.patch === 1) $ tuned-adm(8) verify - Does not seem to validate all configuration settings done by an active profile. Ex. while verifying 'realtime' profiles, tuned(8) calls respective 'script.sh verify' function via 'plugin_script.py' plugin. === * This is a proposed patch to address this issue. * One limitation is a Boolean return value from verify() function fails to convey if all tests passed or all tests failed. There could be a case wherein some tests pass and some fail. * Another limitation is, output from these verify() functions does not get logged to the /var/log/tuned/tuned.log file.

Jaroslav, We need this for 8.5 for sure. But since the intent of this work is to improve debugability for real-time KVM, I'd also like to request a backport for 8.4.z and even to 8.2.z if possible because those two releases are TUS (extended lifecycle support for telco). Can we do that?

Can we do that? I added RPL request for 8.5, despite of it the #345 (comment 7) should get in through the planned 8.5 TuneD rebase (it is already merged upstream). It's bugfix, so I think backport to z-stream shouldn't be problem.
Jaroslav, On further discussing this with the team, we believe it's better to have a full verification solution for the z-stream (which we are working on). So, no need to backport.
* Updates to script.sh/verify() functions and moving [sysfs] parameters to tuned.conf file is fairly small change. * I think this can be backported to earlier versions without waiting for or blocking on => BZ#1956387 tuned: add tuned-adm verify --verbose option. * I've opened/cloned rhel-8.4.z & rhel-8.2.z bugs for this. Hope that's okay. @Jaroslav ...wdyt? Thank you.
* Closed the manually cloned z-stream bugs => BZ#1965068, BZ#1965070.
