I can see that the problem seems to be about /var/run/nscd/ not existing. A quick check on openqaworker-arm-3 reveals that there the directory exists (with the socket file within). So manually created the directory and restarted the service which then was fine. I also reset the failed jobs with systemctl --reset-failed

@nicksinger so I "fixed" the problem by creating the directory. I wonder if you have seen this in before on other workers?
Checking failed services with sudo salt -C 'G@roles:worker' cmd.run 'systemctl --failed' I could not find another instance – but quite some other services failing on all workers.

Nope, not really. But IIRC the workers have no common ground besides our current configuration inside salt so there are slight setup differences (as example: I remember a worker with pool and pool2 directory and some weird symlinks between them).

fine, let's try another iteration. I ran sudo salt -C 'G@roles:worker' cmd.run 'systemctl reset-failed' also because what failed on all instances was "openqa-metrics" which we have removed meanwhile. Some other services have failed but only on singular machines. Let's see what pops up again after some time.

still visible e.g. on arm-* machines.
I reported
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1149603
and can add a workaround in salt recipes: https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/merge_requests/162
Let's see how this behaves over the next days. I should probably trigger some reboots as well in between.

Suggested to remove the workaround again in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/merge_requests/170 as I did not see the problem appear in the last days. After merge I will just see that the service does not fail and then close the ticket.

I checked if the bug was still detected:
sudo salt '*arm*' cmd.run 'journalctl -u nscd | grep 1149603'
openqaworker-arm-1.suse.de:
Sep 28 14:23:40 linux-rz6p mkdir_nscd[1143]: boo#1149603: /run/nscd does not exist
openqaworker-arm-2.suse.de:
Sep 19 18:38:39 linux-79cz mkdir_nscd[1576]: boo#1149603: /run/nscd does not exist
openqaworker-arm-3.suse.de:
Sep 17 20:20:37 openqaworker-arm-3 mkdir_nscd[1662]: boo#1149603: /run/nscd does not exist
Sep 26 12:07:28 openqaworker-arm-3 mkdir_nscd[1546]: boo#1149603: /run/nscd does not exist
so it appeared on all three arm machines now. I brought back the workaround with https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/commit/fad660eebbec153ca91155a9094d5b4db3819862 but it was never removed from the ARM machines.

After https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/merge_requests/192 merged the root problem should be fixed. Let's give it two weeks monitoring if nscd can still fail, I assume not, in which case we can again remove the workaround.
