Might be related to #137600, might be just a normal behavior over weekend. The alert is currently in a resolved state.

Suggestions

  • "too few jobs" means < 20 running, > 100 scheduled - are these numbers sensible? Reduce/increase?

from /var/log/openqa_scheduler around that time:

[2023-10-09T04:29:07.965461+02:00] [debug] [pid:1683] Scheduling: Free workers: 927/949; Scheduled jobs: 273

And that simply goes on until now. We apparently just didn't have very much jobs that actually found a matching worker.

I just made the same observation while manually reviewing monitoring data. The system has actually been very responsive over the weekend and picked up new jobs almost immediately. This is exactly how it should be.

Then we should ensure that there is no alert in such cases, right?

The real problem is the 273 stuck scheduled jobs, which seem to be mostly ppc64le variations with no available workers. So the alert itself is valid, but there are other tickets about the problem already.

Putting the ticket back into the backlog for estimation then, since the scope is too vague at the moment.
