Generate Capsule Metadata and Sync fails - Host did not respond within 20 seconds. Is katello-agent installed and goferd running on the Host

Foreman Proxy Content
Description
I've a Katello V2.3 setup with 1 Katello server and about 15 Capsules/Smart Proxies. Every-time I publish and promote a content view the 'Generate Capsule Metadata and Sync' fails with the error messages:
"Host did not respond within 20 seconds. Is katello-agent installed and goferd running on the Host?"
from every Smart proxy. When I restart the goferd on the smart proxy and initiates a manual sync using hammer the sync completes (hammer capsule content synchronize --id xx), but when I try to sync again next day it fails with same error message - "Host did not respond within 20 seconds. Is katello-agent installed and goferd running on the Host?" even though the goferd daemon is running. I again have to restart the goferd for it work.
Please advise any suggestions or corrective measures.

Do you have a firewall between the capsule and katello? We're aware of a case where the connection will time out, we're working on a solution with the qpid folks to setup heartbeats, but for now you'll have to restart the goferd on the capsule service periodically.

Thanks Stephen for the response. Yes I've firewall between Capsule and Katello, but we have opened up the ports. Do you know an approx fix release of the heartbeat?
I'm having the exact same issue. Need to restart goferd to make sync work again.
FW between Katello and Capsule. Correct ports opened.

Hello Stephen,
I am seeing this issue with the Katello clients as well, with this issue it will become a challenge to manage client depending on goferd, or for that matter running any updates on clients from foreman console. Do you have any update on the heartbeat or roadmap for this fix?
Hi,
I am also waiting desperately for a fix for this issue. I was also having the same issue with a Red Hat Satellite deployment and the Red Satellite 6.1.3 update did fix the issue.

As part of katello 2.4.1 we are updating a new qpid stack with a bunch of bug fixes around stability. I think this will fix a ton of the qpid related issues we are seeing including this one. Could you try out this release when it is out and give it a try?
The updated packages include:
libqpid-dispatch x86_64 0.4-11.el7
python-qpid noarch 0.30-9.el7
qpid-cpp-client x86_64 0.30-8.el7
qpid-cpp-client-devel x86_64 0.30-8.el7
qpid-cpp-server x86_64 0.30-8.el7
qpid-cpp-server-linearstore x86_64 0.30-8.el7
qpid-dispatch-router x86_64 0.4-11.el7
qpid-proton-c x86_64 0.9-13.el7
I will go ahead and close. Please re-open if you continue to have the issue after 2.4.1 is released and you have tried these updated packages.
Thanks!
It is now released! Thanks for pointing out that release schedule page, I just updated it.
I've upgraded to katello 2.4.1 version on the Katello Server and the Capsules, but I still see the error 'Host did not respond within 20 seconds. Sync has been cancelled. Is katello-agent installed and goferd running on the Host?' when publishing new content or when I sync using hammer. Do I have to change/add any configurations?

Hi Justin
Apart from sosreport that I had provided I also wanted to confirm teh ACLs/Firewall rules:
- Status changed from Closed to Assigned
- Translation missing: en.field_release changed from 113 to 150
- Translation missing: en.field_release changed from 150 to 144
- Status changed from Assigned to Resolved
- Translation missing: en.field_release changed from 144 to 86
This is now permanently resolved in Katello 3.0. Capsule syncing does not use gofer.
