[Spacewalk-list] Where are Spacewalk logs when applying patches?

Mon May 8 18:57:46 UTC 2017

I meant SW “client.” So if I do yum info osad* on a client that has been registered to my SW server, I see.

# yum info osad*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.cogentco.com
* epel: mirror.cogentco.com
* extras: mirrors.greenmountainaccess.net
* updates: mirror.cs.vt.edu
Error: No matching Packages to list

Reading this https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/OSADSetup#ServerSetup

I’m trying to install OSAD on my SW server, but I get this?

Hi Chris
OSAd is part of SW, then you can say yes, SW could be real time talking about client execution / installation / etc, btw will be necessary install / configure the packages. By default, rhn will be 240 min, you can decrease to 60 min.
Have a good one.

I see. So SW is NOT a “real-time” solution, that is, it is NOT a tool that I can use to “apply patches NOW” or “apply patches at 5:00pm.” I’ll need yet some other tool to do this, e.g., OSAD.

Hi Chris
This is the SW architecture, by default, all clients will check what is pending in cycle of 240 min *4h* by default, you could decrease to 60 min / 1h *minimum value* */etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn<something here>*, just grep 240, then if you did some schedule and your client still with default conf, only after 4h or just if you execute rhn_check in your machine.
As our friend told, OSAd is one good solution, because will be real time, when you submit, jabber will send one broadcast and then your machine will receive / execute the task.
Please, feel free to check our documentation on link [1] or just this book [2], here you will find all answers to your questions, via cli and/or webUI *osad, client configuration, schedule, tasks and much more*
Have a good one.

Good to know, but it kinda sucks. For example, some of my scheduled jobs have been in pending state for 1+ hours, and Spacewalk gives me NO idea why.

As far as I know, this isn't logged anywhere except the action tables in the database.. You can check /var/log/rhn/rhn_web_api.log, but I don't think it specifically logs those types of events.
If you're having an issue with actions not being picked up, I would refer to this: https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/JabberAndOSAD

Well if I schedule it at say 4:00PM UTC, and it’s now 4:15PM UTC and it’s still pending, I curious to know why it’s still pending 15 minutes later?

Hi
Yes, should be, if you schedule/submit the new installation or errata via webUI, the task should be on pending state *schedule tab* until be processed.
Best Regards

Thanks, I was aware of that, but that’s not what I asked though. Is the scheduled update activity not logged in the system in real-time? If not, that’s fine, I just want to know.

Hi Chris
Schedule tab, just check there the information if the task was executed, still pending or if failed.
Best Regards

I’ve scheduled my registered systems to be updated. When the update actually runs, where is this logged in the Spacewalk server?
