Observation¶

Alert email received on 2021-06-20 01:39Z. Details about alert on https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/d/WebuiDb/webui-summary?tab=alert&viewPanel=19&orgId=1

Too many Minion jobs have failed on openqa.suse.de Review the failed jobs on https://openqa.suse.de/minion/jobs?state=failed and create a ticket if there's not already one and the failed jobs aren't just a symptom of a bigger problem (e.g. database outage). After investigation remove the failed jobs (possibly keeping one instance of a failure kind around). For the general log of the Minion job queue, checkout journalctl -fu openqa-gru.service and /var/log/openqa_gru on openqa.suse.de.

so likely two problems:

• openqa-client used and should be openqa-cli instead
• unable to find git hashes in history

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Look where openqa-client is used and replace by openqa-cli, likely in github.com/os-autoinst/scripts/
• AC2: Ensure no out-of-the-ordinary minion alerts are still there
• AC3: Alert fixed

Suggestions¶

• Start by replacing uses of openqa-client in github.com/os-autoinst/scripts/ with openqa-cli

Rollback¶

• Unpause alert "web UI: Too many Minion job failures alert" again on https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/alerting/list?state=not_ok
