[alert] openqa-label-known-issues-and-investigate minion hook failed on o3 size:S
Description
Observation¶
Munin reported multiple minion hook failures on o3 between 2023-07-12T14:00:00Z and 2023-07-12T16:00:00Z, relevant minion jobs are finished (not a failure).

Suggestions¶
- Extend the code to always include an error message or a link to somewhere else
- Investigate the underlying issue
- Maybe just temporary?

For failing minion hooks, the log to look at is the gru journal:

There was a long duration where progress.opensuse.org was apparently not reachable. The 000 indicates that, where we should normally see the HTTP status code.
I think that part can be improved by using curl -s -S instead of curl -s to give us an error message in such cases.

https://github.com/os-autoinst/scripts/pull/248 - Let curl output an error message on error
I think in such cases we have to live with an alert, although it's nothing on our side we could have fixed. progress.opensuse.org just was not reachable for almost 2 hours, and a retry wouldn't have helped.
However, we do get a 503 quite regularly (meaning once a day) for p.o.o, probably when it's maintained, and I think at least a retry with an appropriate long delay for that could make sense.
About the issue that it was apparently not known by everyone which error log to look at - I'm not sure how to solve that.
Putting something like hook_stderr: look-at-gru-journal into the minion data seems a bit silly maybe? :)

https://github.com/os-autoinst/scripts/pull/248 merged. As suggested in the daily I suggest to actually not invest any more effort here. People just need to take a look into the gru logs on problems where the reason of failure is not clear. That's just how it is :)

Actually we discussed it together so you don't need to play the bad cop here ;-) I was voicing concerns with regards to handling alerts but the curl change is already helpful as-is. We can and should take small steps and re-evaluate. So all good. And thank you Tina for raising it before implementing super fancy log parsing.
