Description Oyvind Albrigtsen 2023-03-02 15:01:50 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2154727 +++

Description of problem:
ethmonitor generates "WARNING Interface XXX does not exist" at every monitor operation.

The issue occurs when the interface doesn't have an IP address.

is_interface() in ethmonitor script uses 'ip -a -o inet addr show' command.
The command shows interfaces which have IP addresses.
On the other hand, if the interface belongs to (OVS/Linux) bridge.
The physical/bonding interfaces don't have IP addresses.

To detect the correct interface in that situation, we should backport the following commits into RHEL8.2 and RHEL8.4.

    ethmonitor: fix is_interface() regression
    
    Commit 40d05029ce0b changed is_interface() to list by link instead of
    address. We need to adjust the grep filter for the new output format,
    else we'll miss interfaces.

    ethmonitor: is_interface: RE matches vlan names
    
    Vlan names end not with : but are suffixed with the @devices-name
~~~

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
resource-agents in RHEL8.2 and RHEL8.4.


How reproducible:
Everytime when ethmonitor's monitor operation runs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure an interface which belongs to ovs-bridge.
2. Setup ethmonitor for the bonding device which doesn't have an IP address.
3. Observe the error message is shown.

Actual results:
The warning message is shown

Expected results:
The warning message is not shown.

Additional info:
The message makes user confused. We should prevent it.
