action #132812
closed[alert] openqaw5-xen host up alert + infrastructure ping size:M
0%
Description
Observation¶
https://monitor.qa.suse.de/d/EML0bpuGk/monitoring?viewPanel=4&orgId=1&from=now-6h&to=now showing 100% packet loss between qa-power8-4 and openqaw5-xen.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Alert resolved
- AC2: Alert about packet loss should only fire if we don't already have a related "host up" alert
Suggestions¶
- Look into the individual alerts and fix the error source
- Crosscheck definitions of "host up" and "packet loss" alerts, do we have a redundant alerting overlap? IIRC (okurz) then packet loss was intended to fire only when we have significant packet loss but not hosts being down completely
- Ensure all rollback steps are conducted
Rollback steps¶
- Remove related silences

I think this issue is already resolved by the various networking fixes done in the past weeks. I don't see any problematic package loss and also didn't find related silences I'd need to remove (also no expired ones).
I was also thinking about the relation of "host up" alerts and "package loss" alerts. One idea would be to not fire the "package loss"-alert if the loss is 100% to avoid overlapping with the "host up" alert. But if we do this we loose our monitoring for e.g. network A is not properly routed/reachable from network B. So the only real option would be to not fire "package loss" if a "host up"-alert is already present for the same host (as condition for the first one) which is IIUC not a supported feature by grafana.
We could workaround it by scraping active alerts via telegraf, feed that data back into grafana and use it as condition for the "package loss"-alert but this would be a lot of work which is currently not reasonable.

Added that idea as a "various feature request" in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/65271#note-118
