Description

On 4.1 (at least), if agent failed to run inventory on install, no new inventory will be sent
It does know that it failed to send it, but reports success,

verbose output says:

rudder  verbose: C: BEGIN classes / conditions (pass 2)
rudder  verbose: returnszero ran '/opt/rudder/bin/perl -I /opt/rudder/lib/perl5 /var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs/inventory/1.0/test-inventory.pl /var/rudder/tmp/inventory/agent1-83133707-fabc-4f1d-99dc-34f22aa12a5d.ocs' successfully and it returned zero
rudder  verbose: Caching result for function 'returnszero("${perl_command} ${this.promise_dirname}/test-inventory.pl ${inventory_file}","noshell")'
rudder  verbose: C:     +  Global class: inventory_valid
rudder  verbose: C:     +  Private class: pass2
rudder  verbose: findfiles pattern '/var/rudder/tmp/inventory/*.ocs' found match '/var/rudder/tmp/inventory/agent1-83133707-fabc-4f1d-99dc-34f22aa12a5d.ocs'

problem is, condition uuid_valid.(force_inventory|(inventory_time.!inventory_sent)).inventory_valid is not set - it's not invnetory time

so even if it know it couldn't send inventory, it does not report it, and doesn't retryto send it (it generates it, but don't do the last part
 verbose: Persistent class 'cant_send_inventory' for 413 more minutes
  • cf-execd is not running
  • cron runs /opt/rudder/bin/rudder agent check, which runs /opt/rudder/share/commands/agent-check, which says
    
    Previous version of the ticket mentionned that agent was not run, which is invalid: the rudder agent check does run it, and so even though cf-execd is not restarted, agent is run. (note that cf-serverd is restarted)

  • Subject changed from On a fresh agent install, if inventory failed to be sent, it is not sent again, unless manually to agent does not run and is not started if errors on first run
  • Severity changed from Minor - inconvenience | misleading | easy workaround to Major - prevents use of part of Rudder | no simple workaround

This ticket was mis-qualified, and is much, much more grave that we thought.

The problem is not that the inventory is not sent, but that the agent does not run and won't run ever in some cases, like if there is a problem with inventory.

This was qualified again to minor because the agent does run, so the problem is ONLY that the inventory is not sent until next night.
