Observation¶

grafana alerts about failed systemd services on https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/d/KToPYLEWz/failed-systemd-services

the specific failed alert:

 # systemctl --failed
  UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                                               
● systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules                                       

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

due to

# cat /etc/modules-load.d/kvm.conf
kvm_hv

We need this module for kvm-on-power but not on grenache-1 which is not running any kvm tests.
