Description Saumik Paul 2024-02-26 11:33:10 UTC
// Description of problem:
Aide integrity checking not set up as cronjob despite setting the Aide{Hour,Minute,CronUser} parameters in the THT template aide.yaml file as part of the overcloud deployment. Documentation reference [0].

Content of aide.yaml is in [1].

Overcloud deployment script is in [2].

When I looked through the `/home/stack/ansible.log`, I found that the tasks [3] from aide_config.yml did never run. Upon further investigation of the aide Ansible role, I noticed that the aide_upgrade.yml [4] file is not calling the aide_config.yml which has the task defined for setting up the cronjob [3].

This seems to be a problem in the `aide` Ansible role.

To further test my theory, I modified the aide_upgrade.yml [5] file to include aide_config.yml (which was not there originally), and then I could see that the cronjob was set for the tripleo-admin user in the overcloud nodes.

// Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tripleo-ansible-3.3.1-17.1.20231101230824.el9ost.noarch

// How reproducible:
Always.

// Steps to Reproduce:
Deploy RHOSP 17.1 overcloud with AIDE setup in the overcloud nodes. Reference [0].

// Actual results:
Aide integrity checking not set up as cronjob despite setting the Aide{Hour,Minute,CronUser} parameters in the THT template aide.yaml file as part of the overcloud deployment. Documentation reference [0].

// Expected results:
Aide integrity checking should be set up as cronjob using the Aide{Hour,Minute,CronUser} parameters in the THT template aide.yaml file as part of the overcloud deployment. Documentation reference [0].
