Subject: Re: Question on cf-execd duplicate report suppression

Okay, a few weeks ago I did some small test setup on one of the machines:
bundle agent duplicateReportTest {
commands:
SRV_DUP_TEST::
"/bin/uname -r";
}
which yielded the following report:
Q: ".../bin/uname -r": 2.6.32-38-generic
I: Last 1 quoted lines were generated by promiser "/bin/uname -r"
And from running this for some time, I can confirm that duplicate report seem
to be suppressed either forever or for a very long time.
And yes, it is true that duplicate report suppression can be reset by deleting
the 'previous' symlink in the /var/cfengine/outputs folder. So, if required, a
small promise ensures that persisting problem reports are not forgotten:
bundle agent CfengineConfig {
vars:
SV_CFENGINE::
"outputs_dir" string => "$(sys.workdir)/outputs";
"files" slist => { "previous" };
files:
SV_CFENGINE.Hr00_Q1::
"$(outputs_dir)/"
delete => tidy,
file_select => by_name("@(CfengineConfig.files)"),
depth_search => recurse("1"),
action => one_day_delay,
comment => "Delete the 'previous' log file in
order to avoid permanent cf-execd duplicate report suppression";
}
This resets all supression each day at midnight.
BTW, upon establishing the above snippet I indeed detected a problem on one of
the machines that somehow slipped by :-)
Perhaps a more generic option would tackle this problem in a more general
manner? Something along the lines of:
body executor control {
...
resetreportsuppression_after => "24"; # in hours
...
}
Cheers,
Robert
