Description of problem: A restart of beaker-watchdog will cause a spike in xmlrpc calls for any active recipes. This is because there is no state saved in beaker-watchdog and it will re-send log files from the beginning since it doesn't know what it sent before. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.5.56 How reproducible: Everytime the service is restarted Expected results: One solution would be to ask the scheduler the size of the file upon initialization, this would introduce a small overhead for every Watched file, but would mean restarting the watchdog would not re-send already transferred data.
Due to bz632675 this feature/fix won't be needed.
