QA » openQA Project

Motivation¶

@tinita was investigating job age alerts and found a job with a WORKER_CLASS that doesn't match any workers. This was traced by to @asmorodskyi who then identified the change which was incorrect use of +WORKER_CLASS (+WORKER_CLASS is combined rather than overridden).

Regardless of what caused this, instead of a developer monitoring jobs and figuring out what happened, we should have openQA cancel unmatch.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Cancel any scheduled jobs after a timeout

Suggestions¶

• Cancel any job that is scheduled for multiple days, good default is 7 days
• Do the cancellation in the scheduler, use an additional timer if performance is impacted

Workaround¶

Have a person monitor alerts and investigate jobs that never run, cancel the job and file a new ticket.
