The text in the upper right corner of the page indicates when the page was last updated. However, when the update fails, there is no indication. The text still shows that the page was updated. If cumin is stopped or restarted while the page is still displayed, the background updates will silently fail. The "page updated indicator" should show when an update failed and the time it happened. To reproduce: Display a cumin page Stop cumin The page updated indicator will continue to change, even though the page updates are failing. Or Display a cumin page Wait for the page updated indicator to turn into a "Resume Updates" button restart cumin Press the Resume Updates button The page updated indicator will change, but the page will not actually get updated. This is because the user needs to re-login first.
Fix available in revision 4790.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: The page updated timestamp would be updated even when the page update failed with no indication of a failure. Consequence: The user may be lead to believe that they were seeing the most recent stats, when in fact, the stats may be stale. Fix: If an update attempt fails (easiest way to see this is to shut down cumin), we now display "Last update failed" next to the timestamp. Result: When an update fails, it will be more obvious to the user.
Verified in cumin-0.1.4878-1.el5 The message is: Last update failed 2011-07-21 19:50:26
