Description Omer Tuchfeld 2022-02-21 09:38:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
cluster-monitoring-operator experiencing very short watch requests on single-node clusters. This leads to a higher watch request count which in turn leads to single-node CI test failure due to the watch count going over the allowed test threshold.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.11

How reproducible:
Happens frequently in single CI:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run conformance tests on single node cluster
2. Observe watch count going over the threshold (not always)

Actual results:
A lot of very short watch requests

Expected results:
Should not have short watch requests

Additional info:
PR to increase threshold until this is resolved: https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/26685

JIRA ticket requesting review for said PR with some discussion about the issue:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MON-2239

This causes about 44% of CI runs to fail
Comment 1 Omer Tuchfeld 2022-02-21 12:59:15 UTC 
Once this bz gets resolved, you may want to revisit the threshold increase and lower it back to more strict values - 
https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/26685
Comment 4 Omer Tuchfeld 2022-03-02 13:34:53 UTC 
Follow-up on the first comment [1], you may also want to fix the threshold in the backport [2], once the solution to this gets backported to 4.10

Comment 7 Michal Fojtik 2023-01-16 11:53:58 UTC 
Dear reporter, we greatly appreciate the bug you have reported here. Unfortunately, due to migration to a new issue-tracking system (https://issues.redhat.com/), we cannot continue triaging bugs reported in Bugzilla. Since this bug has been stale for multiple days, we, therefore, decided to close this bug.
If you think this is a mistake or this bug has a higher priority or severity as set today, please feel free to reopen this bug and tell us why. We are going to move every re-opened bug to https://issues.redhat.com. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
