Hi all ,

 

I have noticed that Uyuni will silently fail to get the package information from a salt-ssh registered client if it get for example a ssh ‘permission denied’.

 

As far as I can see, the only way to detect such failures is to check the taskomatic logs and look for those messages:

 

2020-09-11 05:07:02,597 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-13] WARN  com.suse.manager.webui.services.impl.SaltService - JsonParsingError({"_error":"Failed to return clean data","stderr":"root@my_server: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).\r\n","stdout":"","retcode":255,"id":"my_server","fun":"state.apply","jid":"20200911050701681150","_stamp":"2020-09-11T05:07:02.592894"}, No salt ssh return value, return code: 255)

 

My idea is then to monitor the state of the VMs by executing the command “salt-ssh  my_server test.ping", however I am unable to find the SSH private key files used by Uyuni.

 

Somebody has an idea about where it could be find ? Or perhaps a better way to monitor those failures ?

 

Regards,

Philippe.
