Description

Hi,

We are running foreman 1.16 and katello 3.5.0 and we are hitting the same issue as described here
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/19976

all new machines already provisioning asking to reboot

Status Error
Configuration No changes
Errata All errata applied
Subscription Fully entitled
Traces Reboot required

We noticed that the problem is solved if you manually execute "katello-tracer-upload" or "yum install XXX" in the machine after the first boot.

Trying to workaround the issue we added this at the end of our provisioning template but it didn't solve the problem.

<% if @provisioning_type == nil || @provisioning_type == 'host' -%>
# Inform the build system that we are done.
echo "Informing Foreman that we are built" 
wget -q -O /dev/null --no-check-certificate <%= foreman_url('built') %>
<% end -%>
# if this host has the katello client installed we 
# execute katello-tracer-upload so it's not in error
# status after the first boot
<% if @host.params['kt_activation_keys'] %>
echo "executing katello-tracer-upload" 
/usr/sbin/katello-tracer-upload
<% end -%>
) 2>&1 | tee /root/install.post.log
exit 0

This is what we get in production.log when the machine is provisioned

These are the rpms installed in the privisioned machine

katello-host-tools-fact-plugin-3.1.0-1.el7.noarch
katello-host-tools-3.1.0-1.el7.noarch
katello-ca-consumer-katello-dmz.scicore-dmz.lan-1.0-1.noarch
katello-agent-3.1.0-1.el7.noarch

by now the only workaround is to manually execute "katello-tracer-upload" in the provisioned machine after the first boot

Interesting because there is already a cron that should send a new report after a reboot https://github.com/Katello/katello-host-tools/blob/master/extra/katello-agent-send.cron. Do you have any logs to show this did or didn't run or if there was/is a problem with it running?

Thanks for the pointer. I have double checked that the cron file is installed in `/etc/cron.d/katello-host-tools`

That's really weird. I cannot explain it. I will try to do some more testing and report back if I figure out what's happening.

after some more testing now the machines stay in "reboot required" even if we execute the "katello-tracer-upload" or even if we reboot the machine.

If I go to hosts >> content hosts >> traces and I apply the filter "helper == "You will have to reboot your computer"" I get this and I don't know how to fix it

Application Type Helper
dbus static You will have to reboot your computer
systemd static You will have to reboot your computer

Any suggestion about how to debug this problem?
