--------------------------------------
Summary: Scheduler can't get past SLA check if SMTP settings are
incorrect
Key: AIRFLOW-2178
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2178
Project: Apache Airflow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: scheduler
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Environment: 16.04
Reporter: James Meickle
After testing Airflow for a while in staging, I provisioned our prod cluster
and enabled the first DAG on it. The "backfill" for this DAG performed just
fine, so I assumed everything was working and left it over the weekend.
However, when the last "backfill" period completed and the scheduler
transitioned to the most recent execution date, it began failing in the
`manage_slas` method. Due to a configuration difference, SMTP was timing out in
production, preventing the SLA check from ever completing; this both blocked
SLA notifications, as well as prevented further tasks in this DAG from ever
getting scheduled.
As an operator, I would expect AIrflow to treat scheduling tasks as a
higher-priority concern, and to do so even f the SLA feature fails to work. I
would also expect Airflow to notify me in the web UI that email sending is not
currently working.
