Description

Motivation

In https://matrix.to/#/!dRljORKAiNJcGEDbYA:opensuse.org/$jz0FLvQkzgOBQ1r0WC6ARuAFR0hRBHCO_fYSxDFH2gY @Guillaume_G made us aware of many incomplete jobs. Affected workers seem to be arm21 and arm22 which also report as "localhost" to o3. In that time frame, I found the following logs:

May 16 08:06:49 openqaworker-arm21 worker[18452]: [info] isotovideo has been started (PID: 75018)

referencing the job https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4193752

Restarting the openqa-worker-instances registered the instances correctly against o3 and the seem to be capable of completing jobs again. I haven't tried a reboot yet.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: o3 worker hosts consistently register with a proper hostname and not localhost without needing to hardcode the hostname in workers.ini
  • AC2: It is still possible to register as "localhost", e.g. for single instance container setup, when using the loopback interface

Suggestions

  • Check if there was a significant change in openQA which could have caused this
  • Use reboots to validate proper registered hostnames for workers on o3
  • Research in older tickets if we already had such problems in the past and what we did to resolve
  • We should ensure in openQA worker registration code that a "proper hostname" is used for registration while still allowing for "localhost" to register, e.g. for a single instance container setup
  • Remove hardcoded FQDNs from workers.ini again after the problem is fixed
  • Ensure that the workers register with proper FQDN again over multiple reboots
  • Research why the host is relevant here. Shouldn't this hypothetically be fine even with "localhost"?
  • Should the worker register as "broken" when it has no proper name? Not just "localhost"
  • Consider only allowing "localhost" when the connection is using the local loopback interface

I found the same for aarch64-o3. It does not have a hostname set until DHCP completes:

Mai 16 03:36:27 localhost wickedd-dhcp4[1536]: eth0: Committed DHCPv4 lease with address 10.168.193.2 (lease time 64795, renew in 32395 sec, rebind in 56695 sec)
Mai 16 03:36:28 aarch64-o3 systemd[1]: Reloading System Logging Service...

This leads to

Mai 16 03:36:29 aarch64-o3 worker[9394]: [warn] Unable to determine worker address (WORKER_HOSTNAME) - checking again for web UI 'https://openqa.opensuse.org' in 201.60 s
...
Mai 16 03:34:59 localhost worker[9381]:  - name used to register:            localhost
Mai 16 03:34:59 localhost worker[9381]:  - worker address (WORKER_HOSTNAME): localhost

and eventually

Mai 16 03:36:39 aarch64-o3 worker[9394]: [warn] Websocket connection to https://openqa.opensuse.org/api/v1/ws/1278 finished by remote side with code 1008, only one connection per worker allowed,

I guess the openQA server gets confused if multiple servers register with the same WORKER_HOSTNAME and connections go to the wrong workers.

For aarch64-o3 I set WORKER_HOSTNAME explicitly in workers.ini.

@favogt thanks for handling the situation.

That rings a bell. Maybe we had such problems already in the past? I extended the ACs and suggestions accordingly.

For aarch64-o3 I set WORKER_HOSTNAME explicitly in workers.ini.

@favogt And did you now the same for arm21 and arm22? I'm asking because it looks like you did on both workers (e.g. WORKER_HOSTNAME = openqaworker-arm22 is configured on arm22). If this was already configured before then the recent problem must have had a different source, though.

EDIT: Looks like you haven't done anything yet because /etc/openqa/workers.ini was only modified on 8 Apr. This is actually in-line with what I remember from looking at the worker properties. I can't tell for sure because the workers have already been cleaned up but I think they were shown with Host: localhost but with e.g. WORKER_HOSTNAME=openqaworker-arm22.

Note that it is probably a bug that the worker connects despite not knowing its hostname - especially since it leads to the follow-up problem only one connection per worker allowed.

Other workers have the hostname set statically:

openqaworker25:~ # hostnamectl
 Static hostname: openqaworker25
       Icon name: computer-server
         Chassis: server
      Machine ID: 3b98eec0757247af86be1759edbed0c3

Rebooted a worker which looked fine.
I guess we can consider this resolved.
