Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Significant reduction in errors in our CI pipelines
• AC2: Errors in business related tooling are still visible somewhere

Suggestions¶

• Look into the influxdb connection error primarily. If it does not reproduce anymore and no further mentions in logs then no further action is needed DONE journal output unrelated to pipeline result, most likely temporary outage
• Consider separating reporting about low level monitoring from business related tooling. At the very least adjust the grep
• Report separate tickets about problems in business scripts DONE not applicable here, mentioned logs hint to a general network issue, currently all scripts return with 0
• Consider splitting out no critical parts into a different conf file in /etc/telegraf.d/ and see if only the relevant ones are successful or a separate config for business scripts with separate telegraf service invocation, separate log or journal target DONE external scripts are already split out
