Description of problem: If delete/add/migration one virtual machine to the Host, virt-who can't send the update to Sam server in virt-who -b mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-who-0.7-2.el5 subscription-manager-firstboot-1.0.13-1.el5 subscription-manager-1.0.13-1.el5 subscription-manager-gui-1.0.13-1.el5 python-rhsm-1.0.5-1.el5 katello-headpin-all-0.2.13-1.el6_2.noarch candlepin-0.6.5-1.el6_2.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register Host and some Guests that on the host to SAM 2. Edit virt-who config file on Host: VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1 VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1 3. start virt-service in background on Host #virt-who -b 4. Check the /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log on Host 5. Delete/add/migration Guests 6. Check the service virt-who status on Host 7. Check the /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log on Host, the log has no update. 8. Check the host/guest association on SAM server, there is no update. Actual results: /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log and host/guest association on SAM server are not updated Expected results: The /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log should be updated and the host/guest association should be updated Additional info:

Thanks for the bug report. Can you rerun virt-who with "-d" argument and post rhsm.log here? Note that /etc/sysconfig/virt-who is used only for starting virt-who as a service and not from command line.

Run virt-who -b, there will nothing added and if add/delete guests, it still can't update. And check the host/guest association on SAM server, there is no update. So it is sure that virt-who -b has not sent the current guest uuids to SAM. #virt-who -b # tail -f /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log 2012-08-31 05:35:44,637 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: test: b83cf771-fc48-db4b-e66c-586ab00aa9d7 2012-08-31 05:35:44,641 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 6.3_Server_x86_64_FV: aaa3df8b-934a-25c5-576c-137ed0e0bfa4 2012-08-31 05:35:44,645 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 6.2_Server_x86_64_PV: d75178e2-bf31-0559-15a4-b39a3251af43 2012-08-31 05:35:44,649 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.8_Server_x86_64_FV: 00d608f7-27b6-b06e-3cde-99df12b030a2 2012-08-31 05:35:44,658 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 6.2_Client_i386_FV: 26dc37dc-a7eb-ef91-435f-43e106df7526 2012-08-31 05:35:44,665 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 6.3_Client_i386_FV: 916f7602-93c6-30ab-6d10-6fbb74ac1466 2012-08-31 05:35:44,673 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.8_Client_i386_PV: c80de70a-4d27-67b3-d706-c98047585b91 2012-08-31 05:35:44,681 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.8_Server_x86_64_PV: 7cc6a77c-5b9e-bf11-ccd9-6b857ffce55c 2012-08-31 05:35:44,689 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 6.2_Server_x86_64_FV: d1c45dcf-b209-1879-29b6-e46ab7a821aa 2012-08-31 05:35:44,690 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:81 - Sending list of uuids: ['00d608f7-27b6-b06e-3cde-99df12b030a2', '26dc37dc-a7eb-ef91-435f-43e106df7526', '4c67eea4-a82b-4e69-1c08-ce37f67837f4', '581cee95-9f8d-5626-bf45-eaebdec0d408', '7bbf24d8-03f2-e493-5aa9-0aaa8042c8fd', '7cc6a77c-5b9e-bf11-ccd9-6b857ffce55c', '916f7602-93c6-30ab-6d10-6fbb74ac1466', 'aaa3df8b-934a-25c5-576c-137ed0e0bfa4', 'b83cf771-fc48-db4b-e66c-586ab00aa9d7', 'c80de70a-4d27-67b3-d706-c98047585b91', 'd1c45dcf-b209-1879-29b6-e46ab7a821aa', 'd75178e2-bf31-0559-15a4-b39a3251af43', 'eb5b2200-cf4c-ac3d-0ac3-184353fa328c']
The log looks correctly. Does the other virt-who modes work? Like -o or without argument? Can you rerun it as "virt-who -b -d" and paste /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log here?
Now actually the CLI "virt-who -d", "virt-who -b", "virt-who -o" can send the current guest uuids to the SAM server (how to verify--e.g: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848781#comment5). But these CLI mode still can't update log in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log except using "virt-who -b -d" virt-who -d and virt-who -b are both running in background mode. What is the difference between them? only the standard output?

Only virt-who -d can provide the log in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log even if virt-who -b can monitor the events. It will provide the "man" configure file to make CLI clarely. This will be traced by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848781. So move the bug to CLOSED.
