Rudder

Workaround¶

- move inventories from /var/rudder/inventories/accepted-nodes-update or /var/rudder/inventories/incoming to a temp directory;
- restart inventory watcher. From rudder server, do:
- in 5.0, use curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/endpoint/api/watcher/restart
- in 6.0, use curl -H "X-API-Token: $(cat /var/rudder/run/api-token)" -X POST "https://.../api/latest/inventory/watcher/restart
- move back inventories from temp directory to /var/rudder/inventories/accepted-nodes-update@ by batch of 100.

Description¶

With 100s of inventories in incoming folder, i got the following error

not sure what triggered it - had a .tar.gz in the folder, the inventories were not automatically consumed by the webapp, so only agent was sending them
