[Spacewalk-list] OSAD not picking up updates

[Daryl Rose]

Thomas,


Thank you for bit of information.   I just stood up a proxy server and registered about 2 dozen servers via the proxy.  I routinely stop SW and clean out the jabberd database.   Two reason why;

  1.  The SW server starts having problems after several days and cleaning out the database files clears up those problems.
  2.  The database log files fills up /var.

However, since I am already having osad issues, maybe this isn't such an issue.

Daryl

Don't delete the database if you use spacewalk proxies connected to the spacewalk server or you'll run into osad problems with clients connected to the proxy.

I have had success with a weekly cron job to clean out the jabber database

service jabberd stop
rm -Rf /var/lib/jabberd/db/*
 service jabberd start
service osa-dispacher restart

 I'm with Maxime... I spent months trying to get OSAD to work properly, and
 we recently had a major issue with some network equipment that lead to many
 OSAD clients going offline.  Personally I'm just about done with it and
 ready to implement a cron job to do rhn_check every 5 minutes...

 We have personally chosen to restart both the whole jabberd/osa-dispatcher
 stack and the osad clients every morning.
 We banged our heads way too much trying to figure out why osad clients
 randomly loose communications with the server without any log/alert/crash

 Are there any errors in /var/log/rhn/osa-dispatcher.log? Also try running
 the below command on your clients
 rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf;   service osad restart
 If you are running a host firewall or have firewalls in place on your
 network, ensure port 5222 is open between clients and your Spacewalk server

 OSAD is not picking up scheduled updates.    To the best of my knowledge,
 everything is running and I don't see any errors on the server or on the
 clients.  osad is running on the client, osa-dispatcher as well as the
 jabberd processes are running on the server.   The packages will be picked
 up and applied by rhnsd, but I have to wait for it to check in.   I would
 like to have the packages picked up immediately via osad.

 BTW, I'm using SW version 2.3.

 Any thoughts on why osad isn't picking up packages?

 Thanks

 Daryl
