Puppet reports missing (only some) resources and log information

Problem:
Reports are missing some of the resource and logs.

Expected outcome:
Reports should show all resources and logs.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.19

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Other relevant data:

So this seems to be some timing or historic based issue. Here is a host 30 mins ago:


All resources showing.

Here is the same host from 1 day ago:


A few resources missing.

2 days ago, more resources missing:

8 days ago, all resources missing:

Do you have a cron task for expiring reports? This sounds like possibly a bug in the report expiry task leading to some values being deleted at the incorrect time. @lzap, iirc you recently looked into that area?

We do, havent touched this for at least 3-4 years.

Anything in /var/log/foreman/cron.log?

Can you run /usr/sbin/foreman-rake reports:expire manually? How long it takes to finish? Any errors?

/var/log/foreman/cron.log doesnt show much, but it does show an error:

[*PROD* root@puppet 0 /var/log/foreman]# cat cron.log
/usr/share/foreman/lib/core_extensions.rb:182: warning: already initialized constant ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::DEFAULT_CIPHER
/opt/theforeman/tfm-ror51/root/usr/share/gems/gems/activesupport-5.1.6/lib/active_support/message_encryptor.rb:22: warning: previous definition of DEFAULT_CIPHER was here

Same response on manual expiration:

[*PROD* root@puppet 0 /var/log/foreman]# /usr/sbin/foreman-rake reports:expire days=60
/usr/share/foreman/lib/core_extensions.rb:182: warning: already initialized constant ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::DEFAULT_CIPHER
/opt/theforeman/tfm-ror51/root/usr/share/gems/gems/activesupport-5.1.6/lib/active_support/message_encryptor.rb:22: warning: previous definition of DEFAULT_CIPHER was here

Found the issue, here is the patch.

Thank you! Fine work as always @lzap
