action #13276

Updated by okurz almost 8 years ago

## observation 

 There are problems in the testing infrastructure with stalls of the monitoring process for some seconds. 

 Initially referenced:  
 https://openqa.suse.de/tests/523174/file/autoinst-log.txt 

 but there have been corresponding tickets in before 

 ## reproducible 

 sometimes, seem to appear especially when SUT produce a lot of I/O, e.g. `install_and_reboot`. 


 ## expected result 

 No timeouts in the test, no screens missed. 

 ## problem 

 os-autoinst already detects this 

 ``` 
 09:39:27.4559 34353 WARNING: There is some problem with your environment, we detected a stall for 12.8205699920654 seconds 
 ``` 

 and as a consequence already aborts the test 

 ``` 
 09:39:30.5158 34353 <<< bmwqemu::mydie(cause_of_death='assert_screen fails, but we detected a timeout in the process, so we abort') 
 DIE mydie at /usr/lib/os-autoinst/backend/baseclass.pm line 853. 
 ``` 

 but this appears often enough that we should care about to fix the underlying issue and also improve the feedback on detection.
