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 Griffin Sullivan 2023-02-01 15:59:32 UTC

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.13

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # satellite-installer --full-help | grep puppet-server-puppetserver-telemetry

Actual results:
--puppet-server-puppetserver-telemetry  Enable Dropsonde telemetry.
--reset-puppet-server-puppetserver-telemetry Reset server_puppetserver_telemetry to the default value (true)

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/35728 has been resolved.
Comment 8 Griffin Sullivan 2023-03-06 14:43:40 UTC 
Verified in 6.13 snap 13.0

Puppet Server telemetry default value has changed to undefined.

Steps to reproduce:

1) # satellite-installer --full-help | grep puppet-server-puppetserver-telemetry
    

Results:
--puppet-server-puppetserver-telemetry  Enable Dropsonde telemetry.
--reset-puppet-server-puppetserver-telemetry Reset server_puppetserver_telemetry to the default value (UNDEF)
Comment 9 Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden 2023-03-07 11:00:28 UTC 
Please verify the actual configured value on disk in the configuration file. https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/server/puppet_server_usage_telemetry.html says that it should show up in /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/conf.d/puppetserver.conf as a dropsonde section with enabled: false. I'd also like to see if the logs say anything on startup, though I'm not really sure it does emit anything in either the enabled or disabled case.
Comment 10 Griffin Sullivan 2023-03-07 17:53:59 UTC 
I can verify that the puppetserver.conf file changes depending on the installer option, but I can't find anything in the logs about telemetry or dropsonde.

Running `# puppetserver dropsonde list` returns:

Dropsonde does not appear to be installed properly.


From our discussion:

That string only shows up here:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetserver/blob/main/resources/ext/cli/dropsonde.erb

That it doesn't work (in the way it failed) suggests some packaging issue.

On my official puppetserver-7.9.5-1.el8.noarch this command works:

puppetserver dropsonde --help

If it doesn't on our rebuild, we know it's something in our rebuild.
Doesn't mean it's a blocker to release though.
Comment 11 Eric Helms 2023-03-07 18:23:35 UTC 
I did some digging into our re-build of puppetserver and we do not include dropsonde in our build. Basically, the version of a build script we use does not include this change https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetserver/commit/8fc80dbc257e111a982cd4cd523eb2cfb544341a which would have triggered us to need to package it or opt to omit it.
