Bug #16773
Updated by François ARMAND about 4 years ago
We decided to make non accepted nodes send their inventories more often: https://issues.rudder.io/issues/9676 "An agent run with initial promises should send its inventory more often"
The unforseen effect of that decision is that if you had a bunch of nodes at the same time (in the hundreds), they start spamming Rudder server with inventories. And inventories will be rejected because the processing queue is full quite often.
If you are not lucky, it will always be the same node that will be processed.
We should add safeguards on the server side to reject inventories for new nodes that are already in the processing queue (and only new nodes, I believe).
We should also make nodes send their inventory more often only for one or two hours. Problems descibed in ticket #9676 don't matche the case of a node still not accepted after, say, 3 days.
