Description

Hello,

what is purpose of sleep in /opt/rudder/share/commands/agent-check when it's still running every 5 minutes?

My situation:
  • run agent every 1h
  • first run time 0
  • maximum delay 15m

Rudder server OS: CentOS 8
Rudder server version: 6.0.4
Rudder client OS: CentOS 8, Debian 10
Rudder client version: 6.0.3 and 6.0.4

This is resulting to this behavior, so agent is is still started every 5 mins and server spammed with rudder processes:

Hi

When called from the cron, this script should sleep for a random time to avoid hammering the host when there are plenty of VMs.
However, they should not pile up - we should not run it when it's already sleeping/running.

The same problem (Ubuntu 18.04) using rudder-agent 6.0.6, it seems to be no problem using rudder-agent 5.0.13.
We use an agent-check intervall of 6h.
This code is vanished in 6.0.6 (/opt/rudder/share/commands/agent-check):
"...
  1. Get the value of rudder-agent run interval from file /var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs/run_interval
    if [ -f "${CFE_DIR}/inputs/run_interval" ]; then
    RUN_INTERVAL=`cat "${CFE_DIR}/inputs/run_interval"` # If the value is not a number, reset to 5
    if ! test "${RUN_INTERVAL}" -gt 0 2>/dev/null
    then
    RUN_INTERVAL=5
    fi
    else # File does not exists, use default value 5
    RUN_INTERVAL=5
    fi
    ..."
