Hello again,

still having problems,

I noticed that the errata-cache gets triggerd when a client refreshes
its repos or searches for updates. So I manually fired a "zypper ref -s"
or a "apt-get update" on every client connected to this spacewalk
server. This seems to have fixed "something". Suddenly, the
"errata-cache" task has finished and I got some backtraces from spacewalk.

But I still have trouble. The UI does not seem to get updated correctly
(on the "system" page, nearly all systems look "up-to-date". But I know,
it's not!). But the updates are available to the clients (searching on
the client).

When I look into the last errata-cache schedules (in Spacewalk "Admin"
-> "Task schedules" -> "errata-cache-bunch") I can see, that the
"errata-cache" tasks is often "SKIPPED"

And also I noticed that the "errata-mailer" tasks seems to get only
started, when the "errata-cache" tasks finished within one minute. (Just
look above). As soon as the errata-cache tasks runs longer than one
minute, the "errata-mailer" is not started. I'm also not sure, if
something went wrong, while I was shutting down the spacewalk server for
the update.

This is what it looked before (on spacewalk 2.2). I started the update
on 2016-01-04 abount 08:30.

I would be glad, if someone could give me further hints, where to look
for the root cause to this.

Hi again,

just some further information.

Because I already activated debug logging of taskomatic, searching for
server errata cache tasks within the rhn_taskomatic_daemon logfiles with

grep 'Updating errata cache for server' rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log* | awk
'{print $NF; }' | sort | uniq -c

i get

On this server, there are more than 400 servers registered, so this
looks like, something is "hanging" on these servers and not going any
further (i think).

But right now, I don't know - exactly - where to look for this "error"
or within which DB table to further track this down.

Regards,
Robert

Hello,

since Spacewalk 2.3 this type of task is running every minute instead of every ten minutes before. However any of these tasks should not take so long. These tasks are picked by taskomatic daemon and processed. Are there any exceptions in /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log ? Try to restart taskomatic.
