Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Bernie Hoefer 2022-02-07 17:26:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running a remote job, if the host has not been setup with the appropriate SSH key (Satellite's /var/lib/foreman-proxy/ssh/id_rsa_foreman_proxy.pub) in its /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file, the job will fail.  It will fail with a Ruby traceback that provides no details as to the actual problem, making it much more difficult for users to know what the problem is and and correcting it.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a job against a host that has not been setup with foreman-proxy's SSH key.


Actual results:
Job will fail with the following traceback in the task's Errors tab.  Nowhere is SSH or keys mentioned.

StandardError: Job execution failed

This is being worked on.

On a side note, as far as remote execution goes, tasks are not meant to be inspected directly by users and may contain raw data just as you're describing. The best way would be to look at the hosts output (job invocation details page > click hostname in the table below).

Great to know.

Oh my gosh -- thank you for pointing that out.  Although I saw the host name displayed as a web link in the table at the bottom of the job invocation page, I just figured that would take me back to the host's All Hosts page since that was where I had clicked the Schedule Remote Job button.  Clicking on the host's name in that table *does* show the plain, understandable reason why the job failed.  I was expecting that in the Host Detail button or the Host Task selection from that button's drop-down menu.

That link really needs changed from just the host name to "job output for host.example.com" or perhaps that table's column header needs changed from "Host" to "Job Result Details From Host".

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/34363 has been resolved.
Comment 6 Adam Ruzicka 2022-04-19 11:29:38 UTC 
smart_proxy_remote_execution_ssh-0.6.0 containing the fix for this just went out.
Comment 8 Peter Ondrejka 2022-07-22 11:05:44 UTC 
Verified on Satellite 6.12 sn3, the messages in host job output are now more telling
