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 Hao Chang Yu 2024-02-20 06:21:36 UTC
Description of problem:
Old or incorrect host kernel versions are printed in the generated report.

Multiple services are reporting kernel version facts to the Satellite, such as Ansible, Puppet and RHSM. While resolving the kernel version for a host, Satellite will pick the first one order by fact type. Since "Ansible" starts with 'A', kernel version reported by Ansible will normally be picked. If Ansible roles job is not run after the last host kernel update, then old or wrong kernel version will be reported.

How reproducible:
Easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register a host to the Satellite.
2. Run Ansible roles against the host
3. Update the kernel of the host

Actual results:
Report template generated the old kernel version of the host.

Expected results:
Report template generated the upgraded kernel version of the host.


Additional info:

We can run the following hammer command to query all reported kernel versions of a host.
~~~
hammer fact list --search "host = content_host.example.com and (name = kernelrelease or name = ansible_kernel or name = kernel::release or name = uname::release)"
~~~

As we can see in the example below, Ansible fact has the outdated kernel version.
~~~
----------------------------|----------------|-----------------------------
HOST                        | FACT           | VALUE
----------------------------|----------------|-----------------------------
content_host.example.com    | ansible_kernel | 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64  <==============
content_host.example.com    | uname::release | 3.10.0-1160.105.1.el7.x86_64
----------------------------|----------------|-----------------------------
~~~


As we can see below, the results are sorted by "fact_names.type" which means Ansible fact type always took precedence over other fact types.
~~~
# /usr/share/foreman/app/models/host/base.rb
module Host
  class Base < ApplicationRecord
    <snip>
    has_one :kernel_release, -> { joins(:fact_name).where({ 'fact_names.name' => KERNEL_RELEASE_FACTS }).order('fact_names.type') }, :class_name => '::FactValue', :foreign_key => 'host_id'
~~~

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/37184 has been resolved.
