From Heiko: (2:35:01 PM) pilhuhn: 14:30:21,072 WARN [DiscoveryBossBean] Could not perform commit synchronization with agent for server [snert.local] (2:35:01 PM) pilhuhn: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException (2:35:09 PM) pilhuhn: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException (2:35:10 PM) pilhuhn: at org.rhq.enterprise.server.drift.DriftServerServiceImpl.getDriftDefinitions(DriftServerServiceImpl.java:93) (3:13:18 PM) pilhuhn: saw that flying by when importing servers that were on the Q for some time. It may be that the resource types have changed since - I may have them discovered yesterday or earlier and did a source build this morning. I can't reproduce it on purpose, jshaughn (3:14:23 PM) jshaughn: had you been doing anything with drift definitions? (3:16:18 PM) pilhuhn: no, not at all
master commit 5ffd6e1eb155bf0208690cce526fb18b832ba344 Make drift def sync more efficient, and possibly avoid an NPE that was seen intermittently. - DriftServerServiceImpl.getDriftDefinitions() now only generates Map entries for resources with drift definitions, avoiding unnecessary list creation and subsequent processing. - Added jdoc to that effect - Changed private DriftSyncManager.syncConfigs() to syncDriftDefinitions for clarity. Test Notes: Inventory Sync testing would be appropriate for this.
