[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.8 | Offline Clients

[Wachauer Harald]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply.
It looks like it was a rookie mistake.
I am new at Spacewalk and I followed the instructions here to register a client.

https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients

Unfortunately there was no hint that you have to start the rhnsd service.
So I have started the service now and configured it to start automatically.
And I need no osad at the moment. Every 4 hours check in is fine for me.

Thanks again,

Warm regards,

Harald

Hi Harald

Were they ok originally, and stopped working properly, or are you just trying to setup OSAD for the first time? Either way if you work through my personal notes (for OSAD), below, it may help to identify your problem. If everything has been done correctly it may be an infrastructure problem though ie un-reliable network connection or NTP?

By default, the rhnsd daemon on a client system connects to the Spacewalk server every four hours (see /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd) and performs any updates or actions that have been scheduled. If you install the OSA daemon, you can apply updates and actions to client systems immediately from the Spacewalk server.

osa-dispatcher
Server-side service that determines when an osad client instance needs to be pinged or run rhn_check and sends a message telling them to do so. This is installed when Spacewalk is installed.

Open Source Architecture Daemon (OSAD)
Client-side service that responds to pings and runs rhn_check when told to by osa-dispatcher.

See official documentation, at the following link, for more details:

https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/OSADSetup

Install OSAD and related RHN/Spacewalk packages
# yum -y install osad rhncfg rhncfg-actions rhncfg-client

Spacewalk Actions Control - Enable Scheduled Actions
# rhn-actions-control --enable-all

Spacewalk Actions Control - Show Status
# rhn-actions-control --report

Start OSAD
# systemctl start osad.service OR service osad start

Enable OSAD
# systemctl enable osad.service OR chkconfig osad on

OSAD Log File
/var/log/osad


Hope this is of help
Phil

Hi, Jonathan,

Looks good:

[root at vie-srv-log02 ~]# netstat -tn|grep 5222
tcp        0      0 172.21.0.181:46018      172.21.0.166:5222       ESTABLISHED


Nerveless the client is offline in spacewalk.

Warm regards,

Harald

all your clients should have established traffic to the spacewalk server on port 5222.  it should stay in an established state.


[jhorne at dlp-log01 ~]$ netstat -tn|grep 5222

Hi  all,

I have the problem that most of my systems (CentOS 6 & 7) are going offline after approximately one day.
Only if I run rhn_check the systems come online again, but only for short time.

I have tried to install osad service, the service is running but nerveless the client is going offline.

Any help would be very appreciated.


Best regards,

Harald
