Setting due date based on mean cycle time of SUSE QE Tools
That's how I would do it with python:
import mechanize
br.add_password("https://racktables.nue.suse.com", "okurz", "…")
br.open("https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?andor=and&cft%5B%5D=197&cfe=%7B%24typeid_4%7D+and+not+%7BDecommissioned%7D&page=depot&tab=default&submit.x=9&submit.y=24")
for i in br.links(url_regex="page=object"):
print(i.text)
There are some machines which don't have an FQDN as name, e.g. unreal and quake. In the first step I would ignore those.
I created https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/racktables-check and ran it with:
RT_USERNAME=nicksinger RT_PASSWORD=$(pass show Arbeit/idp-portal.suse.com | head -n 1) ./run.sh
styx.qe.nue2.suse.org up
so this is currently the only machine we should shut down. I currently fail to setup a gitlab CI as I have no service account which I could use for racktables but it should be trivial to implement.
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback

As discussed in the daily the mentioned machine was shutdown by using the PDU toggle as nobody had access to the running system or BMC.
@okurz if I understood you correctly you wanted to create a follow-up ticket regarding automated pipelines so assigning it to you as reminder.
