Hi folks Just a reminder to please use 'waiting' for cases where your charm is waiting for an existing relation to become active, and 'blocked' only when a human is needed to manipulate the model, for config or relations. So if your app needs a database, and there is a relation to a database, but the database is simply not yet 'active', then you are 'waiting' not 'blocked'. If the relation does not exist at all, then fine, you are blocked, because an operator needs to connect you to a database in the model. Config could be a reason for being blocked too - if a config is inconsistent and needs operator intervention, then one is 'blocked' too.
I saw this today: MODEL CONTROLLER CLOUD/REGION VERSION hdp ms-gcp-eu google/europe-west1 2.0-rc2 APP VERSION STATUS SCALE CHARM STORE REV OS NOTES ganglia-node unknown 1 ganglia-node jujucharms 1 ubuntu rsyslog-forwarder-ha unknown 1 rsyslog-forwarder-ha jujucharms 0 ubuntu slave blocked 1 hadoop-slave jujucharms 1 ubuntu UNIT WORKLOAD AGENT MACHINE PUBLIC-ADDRESS PORTS MESSAGE slave/2 blocked idle 3 104.155.69.17 missing required namenode and/or resourcemanager relation ganglia-node/1 unknown idle 104.155.69.17 rsyslog-forwarder-ha/1 unknown idle 104.155.69.17 MACHINE STATE DNS INS-ID SERIES AZ 3 started 104.155.69.17 juju-52a5ca-3 xenial europe-west1-b RELATION PROVIDES CONSUMES TYPE juju-info client ganglia-node subordinate juju-info client rsyslog-forwarder-ha subordinate node ganglia ganglia-node regular juju-info ganglia-node slave regular juju-info namenode ganglia-node subordinate juju-info namenode rsyslog-forwarder-ha subordinate namenode namenode slave regular resourcemanager resourcemanager slave regular syslog rsyslog rsyslog-forwarder-ha regular juju-info rsyslog-forwarder-ha slave regular juju-info slave ganglia-node subordinate juju-info slave rsyslog-forwarder-ha subordinate Clearly the slave/2 unit *does* have the relation, it's just waiting for its counterparts to come up. So the status should be 'waiting' not blocked. Mark -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
