Description

In Compute Resources with a valid, working libvirtd resource; if the libvirtd daemon on the remote host is restarted, all foreman operations with the resource fail:

There was an error listing VMs: Call to virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains failed: internal error client socket is closed

This remains until the foreman rails app is restarted.

Here is an equivalent bug in the OpenStack Compute (Nova) project for reference purposes:

we currently rescue ::Libvirt::RetrieveError upon connection failures and try to reconnect, maybe libvirt changed their exception code.

This might not be the same issue but we are experiencing this on Foreman 1.6.1, but not after a libvirt restart, it just seems to occasionally fail. Only a full restart of Foreman gets it working again.
