How is errata applicability recalculated? how can I automate that the errata applicability is recalculated in a regular basis?

hi,

I think I could finally solve the problem.

I was using katello 3.5.0 with some downgraded qpid packages because I was hitting this bug

Today I decided to upgrade my katello server to the latest katello-3.5.1 and after applying the upgrade and rebooting the server the problem seems to be solved. I cannot assure if the problem was with 3.5.0 or the upgrade procedure triggered some modification that fixed it. Anyway now it seems to work :slight_smile: For each new deployed machine the errata applicability is automatically recalculated.

The only issue I am hitting now is that when the new deployed machine boots for the first time I get this in “hosts >> all hosts >> hostname”

Status	Error
Traces	Reboot required

If I go to “hosts >> content hosts >> hostname >> traces” I get:

anaconda	session	You will have to log out & log in again
anaconda-shell@hvc0	daemon	systemctl restart anaconda-shell@hvc0
anaconda-shell@hvc1	daemon	systemctl restart anaconda-shell@hvc1
chronyd	daemon	systemctl restart chronyd
dbus	static	You will have to reboot your computer
kernel	static	You will have to reboot your computer
lvm2-lvmetad	daemon	systemctl restart lvm2-lvmetad
multipathd	daemon	systemctl restart multipathd
NetworkManager	daemon	systemctl restart NetworkManager
polkit	daemon	systemctl restart polkit
rsyslog	daemon	systemctl restart rsyslog
systemd	static	You will have to reboot your computer
systemd-journald	daemon	systemctl restart systemd-journald
systemd-logind	daemon	systemctl restart systemd-logind
systemd-udevd	daemon	systemctl restart systemd-udevd

This problem is only solved if I login to the server and I manually execute “katello-tracer-upload”

I have verified that there is a cron file “/etc/cron.d/katello-host-tools” which should execute “katello-tracer-upload” after reboot. I also tried to modify my provisioning template to add “katello-tracer-upload” to “/etc/rc.local” but none of these solved the problem. The only workaround is to manually execute “katello-tracer-upload” or install a package with yum which triggers the executing of “katello-tracer-upload” after the installation.

I reported this problem here. Any suggestion about how to solve or debug it is much appreciated.
