----------------------------------------
Bug #16605: Service-resource gets restarted because Puppet agent (wrongfully)
concludes that the MD5SUM of a dependant File-resource has changed
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16605
Author: Egon Kastelijn
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: agent
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18
Keywords: puppet agent md5sum wrong trigger file service
Branch:
* Cause:
In our Puppet infrastructure we sometimes see some strange messages in our
Puppet agent logs.
At the moment it occurs, the files on the Puppet master don't change, but
somehow the Puppet agent mentions/concludes that the MD5SUM of a file has
changed (from 'A' to 'B')
This is logged in the Puppet agent log.
When I quickly log into the Puppet agent machine and check the MD5SUM of the
specified file, then the MD5SUM is still 'A' (the way it should be)
This itself does not really cause a problem.
* Effect:
The problem is that our recipes contain Service resources that depend on the
File that gets 'changed'.
This triggers the Service to restart, which causes unwanted service disruptions.
* Log:
<pre>
<..snip...> (notice): content changed '{md5}2ac665d04a88ad4cbec4bb214577efe6'
to '{md5}7068b0d27e78eed563593c8da3f943ec'
<..snip..> (notice): Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
</pre>
* Infrastructure information:
<pre>
RHEL5.8
1x Puppet Master (webrick)
~40x Puppet Agent
facter-1.6.12-2.el5
puppet-2.7.18-1.el5
puppet-server-2.7.18-1.el5
</pre>
* Reproducability:
It happens multiple times per week, but on different files and at different
moments of the day.
