action #64809

Updated by okurz about 4 years ago

## Observation 

 ### current behavior  

 Worker uploads some text results possibly multiple times. 

 I've created the following change track result uploads (and their size): https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/compare/master...Martchus:log-size-accounting?expand=1 

 With this one can see lots of duplicated uploads in the web UI log, e.g. 

 ``` 
 sort webui-log-job-1260-opensuse-15.1-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20200321-1-gnome@uefi.log | uniq -d | grep -i accounting 
 ``` 

 ## Problem ### problem 

 This wastes resources mainly network bandwidth, increased disk I/O on the web UI host and time. 


 ## Expected result 

 Every result is only uploaded once unless a retry is necessary due to transfer problems. 


 ## Suggestions 

 * Investigate provided log files 
 * Reproduce locally 
 * Ensure there is no duplicate upload, e.g. – if necessary – apply the same hash lookup algorithm as for screenshots 


 ## Notes ### notes / suggestion 

 For screenshots the web UI provides the worker with a list of known screenshot MD5 sums to avoid this. A similar mechanism could be implemented for text results.
