Description

I have a 4.1-rc1 (vanilla - no modifications) on SLES11 SP4, and I got a validation error after I have added many new nodes (batches of 100/200/500) up to 2000.

Policy update process was stopped due to an error:

⇨ Policy update error for process '41' at 2017-03-16 16:40:08 
⇨ Cannot write configuration node 
⇨ Exit code=1 for hook: '/opt/rudder/etc/hooks.d/policy-generation-node-ready/10-cf-promise-check' with environment variables: [PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin] [NLSPATH:/usr/dt/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat] [OLDPWD:/] [TERM:linux] [XFILESEARCHPATH:/usr/dt/app-defaults/%L/Dt] [PWD:/opt/rudder/jetty7] [SHLVL:1] [_:/usr/java/latest/bin/java] [RUDDER_GENERATION_DATETIME:2017-03-16T16:39:26.954+01:00] [RUDDER_NODEID:184c352a-e8d4-4827-946c-474c7fc8bb2d] [RUDDER_NEXT_POLICIES_DIRECTORY:/var/rudder/share/184c352a-e8d4-4827-946c-474c7fc8bb2d/rules.new/cfengine-community] [RUDDER_AGENT_TYPE:cfengine-community].

The error was not shown again after I started a new manual generation.

Thanks for reporting. This seems... interesting. Like in "oh, there is i/o and load and asynchronous process implied in the fun".

We will try to reproduce.
Perhaps we could add a trap on the script to do a ls on the '/var/rudder/share/184c352a-e8d4-4827-946c-474c7fc8bb2d/rules.new/cfengine-community/' directory on error, to have some more information about what goes wrong.

I have currently 8 cores for the system, but they burn like hell during a complete regeneration.
I'll try to increase the number of cores to ensure all cf-promises get a CPU.

Well, we are trying to exploit at maximum the resource of the underlying machine :)
(at least the jvm, and especially scala, has nice management of asynchronicity and parallelism :)

It happend 21x today:

# grep 'Exit code=1 for hook:' /var/log/rudder/webapp/2017_03_16.stderrout.log -c
21

All having the same error:

Stdout: '   error: Can't stat file '/var/rudder/share/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/rules.new/cfengine-community/promises.cf' for parsing. (stat: No such file or directory)

Does this happen only at node acceptation ?

Ok, new info: it only happend when I added ~100 new nodes, not on manual full regen. This happened 32 and also with 8 cpu-s, so apparently this is not cpu bound.

The hook was modified to add more debug info:

I can reproduce this so if you need any other debug info at the time this happens, just tell me what debug-code to add to the hook.

I could reproduce it also - happen only at node acceptation apparently

What happens there is that Dynamics groups are not all recomputed at once when accepting nodes, but rather recomputed one by one, and each one trigger a new policy generation
We are missing at least common here - so no promises.cf

Interestingly, it fixes itself

So, when accepting 100 nodes, at 10:37:01, I get about 55 nodes correctly updated, group has-policy-server-root update meanwhile (with only 48 added nodes), and policy generation starts, because group has-policy-server changed

dynamic group updated

then 47 nodes accepted, a new dynamic group update trigger at the same time, and it includes the last accepted node from previous batch

When we update dynamic group, we have an invalid state system: we check if group changed, if so we set that we must trigger a deployment, but if we have pending dynamic gorup update, we still trigger the deployment, and recompute group

don't know why it submited the PR, it should only WIP

so, it's probably not only related to 4.1, but also to 3.1
code works as expected, however, when accepting gazziliions nodes, it takes quite some time before the popup close, and it starts generating - it's probably something we'll need to change (generation started at 2017-03-17T13:41:19.619+01:00, first node accepted at 2017-03-17 13:38 , for 320 nodes)

benefit: only one generation when accepting node, with the warranty that the data generated are correct !

So, the full text explanation of the problem is:

- the node is accepeted
- but before dynamic group update have a chance to run, a generation is started (typically one was pending and the former just finished)
- the node is accpected, but NOT in the group "hasPolicyServer-root" (because dynamic)
- it is the fact that a node is in that group that gives it the system rule "common", which is responsible for the "promises.cf" file
- "promise.cf" is missing, and the generation fails.

So, we should perhaps do three things:

- correct dynamic group generation logic regarding pending generation (cf the proposed PR),
- directly add the node in the policy server group during acceptation (not waiting a dynamic group update to know that),
- exclude nodes that are not in a policy server group (or even in the one corresponding to their policy server) from generation, reporting inconsistency errors for them

Second and third solution are not correct: a node can be in the dynamic group hasPolicyServer-*, but not have all its groups computed, resulting in invalid generated policies - it can be pretty hard if it exclusion group for specific rules
