I can't seem to figure out why a particular promise isn't activating
universally. A few days ago I implemented the following promises:
commands:
day_splay.vmhost::
"/some/executable.sh",
contain => silent,
module => "true";
day_splay.vmhost.needsupgrade::
"/usr/sbin/vmware-tools-upgrader -p \"--default\"",
contain => silent;
the day_splay class is defined in a common bundle as follows:
"day_splay" expression =>
splayclass("$(sys.host)$(sys.ipv4)","daily");
Currently cf-execd is set to run cf-agent every 15 minutes.
The intent is to have the VMs in the environment check their VMWare
tools version once a day and upgrade if necessary. It doesn't seem to
be evaluating true 1x/day as promised on all hosts. It's now three days
after the promise was implemented and I'd say 15% of my VMs haven't
successfully upgraded their tools. I have confirmed in the logs on the
cf-serverd side that the hosts in question are checking in regularly.
If I remove the day_splay classification everything goes according to plan.
Is it possible that with a sufficiently large splaytime in cf-execd.cf
that day_splay and splaytime will never (or inconsistently) coincide?
This seems counter to my understanding of cfengine's sense of time
(e.g., lastseen) but it is all I can think of at the moment.
Since it will be asked, "/some/executable.sh" contains the following:
if ! /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl -h 2>&1 | grep -qi ' 8.3.7
build-341836'
then
echo -n '+needsupgrade'
fi
Thanks,
Frans
