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.
.Task to enable logging for targeted hosts in the `metric` role now works
Previously, a bug in the `metric` RHEL System Role prevented referring to targeted hosts in the `enabling the performance metric logging` task. Consequently, the control file for performance metric logging was not generated. This update fixes the issue, and now the targeted hosts are correctly referred to. As a result, the control file is successfully created, enabling the performance metric logging execution.
Description of problem:
The "Ensure performance metric logging is enabled for targeted hosts" task is not doing anything, even if the "metrics_monitored_hosts" role variable is defined. This prevents pmlogger from gathering metrics from remote hosts
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel-system-roles-1.0.1-1.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run playbook:
---
- hosts: localhost
vars:
metrics_graph_service: yes
metrics_query_service: yes
metrics_retention_days: 7
metrics_monitored_hosts: ["rhel8-server1", "rhel8-server2", "rhel7-server1", "rhel7-server2"]
roles:
- redhat.rhel_system_roles.metrics
Actual results:
The "Ensure performance metric logging is enabled for targeted hosts" task doesn't do anything:
TASK [redhat.rhel_system_roles.private_metrics_subrole_pcp : Ensure performance metric logging is enabled for targeted hosts] ***
Expected results:
The task runs and creates configuration files for each host under
/etc/pcp/pmlogger/control.d/
Additional info:
It appears to me that the issue is the "Ensure performance metric logging is enabled for targeted hosts" task is looping on the "__pcp_target_hosts" variable which is not set anywhere, so the loop doesn't run.
I updated the task to loop on "pcp_target_hosts" and this appeared to fix the issue and the task runs as expected and created the configuration files.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
