Description

Inventories processed on the Rudder root server are stored in a WebDAV directory (/var/rudder/inventories/incoming) then periodically sent to the endpoint on the server.

The endpoint runs a pre-check, and if the file is invalid, returns a 412 HTTP error code. We use that to move the invalid inventory to /var/rudder/inventories/failed. This was introduced in #3139.

However, if the endpoint is not available (eg, jetty has not yet started), then we also, naively, move the files (that may be correct) to /var/rudder/inventories/failed. This means that we can lose incoming inventories.

This should not be the case.
