Description

Observation

We've been getting minion workers alerts throughout the day e.g. for 10 minutes or for 40 minutes. The alerts usually calm down after a while but alert again later.

journalctl -fu openqa-gru.service isn't showing anything that looks relevant. Although I noticed a lot of grep was killed, possibly timed out messages.
/var/log/openqa_gru mostly contains [debug] Process ... is performing job "..." with task "..." type messages.

I paused the alert for now because we're way past alert fatigue.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Alert does not trigger anymore for at least over a night

Suggestions

  • Research what's causing minion workers to disappear frequently
  • Check the minion dashboard e.g. when the worker was last started
  • The stats are based on Active/Inactive workers - maybe we need "registered workers"; this would be an upstream feature

Rollback steps

  • Unpause the alert in grafana after confirming the monitoring is fine
