Observation¶

(poo#121282)[[https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/121282#note-5]] showed that missing/wrong racktables entries can cause a lot of confusion and introduce a high cost in understanding what is the current status of a machine. We should implement a regular and automated sanity check which makes sure we're aware of such information lacking objects in racktables.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: We're aware of racktables objects which do not fulfill our minimal requirements (e.g. mac address, fqdn, serial number, etc)

Suggestions¶

• Get some kind of automated/machine readable access to racktables and all our machines we care about
  • The explicit tags "QA" is usually linked to machine we care about
• Define which information is the least minimal we require for objects
• Create some kind of script (e.g. running as gitlab-ci job) which runs periodically with our checks and notifies us about missing information
