Present changes between packages on openQA worker machines in "investigation"

Feature requests
Description
Motivation¶
See parent #19720
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Any changes in packages installed on worker machines between "last good" and "current" are available in "investigation" UI tab
- AC2: The solution within openQA is agnostic to the operating system of the openQA worker, e.g. no hardcoded
rpm -qa within openQA code
Suggestions¶
- see #19720#note-14 and #19720#note-15 for preliminary evaluations
- 1st step: Collect the data, e.g. if a hook is defined in worker config, call command on worker at end of job, e.g. with suggestion
rpm -qa for openSUSE/SLE machines, save data in text file, upload text file (same as other log files)
- 2nd step: Show the diff in "investigate" route if file(s) exist, same as we do for vars.json
Further details¶
- It might be that overall this is producing too much data to handle on worker side

Discussing with @ilausuch what's missing here:
- Are the code changes complete?
- Should
PACKAGES_CMD be set in the worker.ini to enable the feature?
- Can we have a post somewhere explaining how this works? Demonstrating configuration as well as results.
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
- Due date set to 2020-10-06
- Target version changed from future to Ready

You are right. IMHO PACKAGES_CMD should be within etc/openqa/workers.ini as an example.
I am adding this ticket back to our backlog as we work on it and I think we should better track it in "Ready". Also setting a due date.
I recommend to do three things now:
- Enable in o3 workers
- Enable in osd workers
- Add as example in PACKAGES_CMD
- Assignee deleted (

I made the changes for the documentation. About activate in production, I will be some days off, I release this ticket to de completed as soon as possible
- Due date deleted (
2020-10-06)
- Status changed from Feedback to Workable
alright, setting back to Low and removing due date then.
- Status changed from Workable to Resolved
- Assignee set to ilausuch
I am stumbling over this ticket again. As the main feature is properly done with good test coverage I would regard this as "Resolved" as I don't see us having the capacity to enable and test in o3+osd infrastructure and also not urgent. Let's see what the next opportunity will be where we would benefit from that :)
