If /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd isn’t there then either rhnsd hasn’t installed
correctly or, like you say, someone or something has removed it afterwards. If
that’s the case may be other related files could be missing too? Either way if
you verify the package (rpm -V rhnsd) it should give you some indication of
this. If it does find errors then yes, initially, just try re-installing it.
Might be wise to check the other packages, that were installed for client
registration, too:
rhn-client-tools
rhn-check
rhn-setup
m2crypto
yum-rhn-plugin

If /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd is not there, then need to investigate the package
rhnsd. I would try and reinstall the rpm, and check to see if the file is there.
If the file is not there:
What version of rhnsd is installed on the clients?
What files are being provided by the rpm? rpm -ql rhnsd
If the file is there:
Wait..... If it is no longer there after some time.
A mis-configured chef/puppet/automated action could be deleting the
file vs creating or updating the file.
If it is still there, some other items to look at:
Someone could have accidentally deleted the file (oops).
There could a custom RPM that is being installed on the impacted
systems that has a script which is deleting the file.
Thanks

Phil,
Still a problem with the offline clients.
It looks like that the rhn daemon stops working after some time.
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status rhnsd.service

No problem Harald. If you want to continue using rhnsd you can still reduce the
check-in time in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd if you want though (default is 240
mins):
# cat /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
INTERVAL=240
#

Hi Phil,
Thanks for your reply.
It looks like it was a rookie mistake.
I am new at Spacewalk and I followed the instructions here to register a client.
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients
Unfortunately there was no hint that you have to start the rhnsd service.
So I have started the service now and configured it to start automatically.
And I need no osad at the moment. Every 4 hours check in is fine for me.
Thanks again,
Warm regards,
Harald

Hi Harald
Were they ok originally, and stopped working properly, or are you just trying
to setup OSAD for the first time? Either way if you work through my personal
notes (for OSAD), below, it may help to identify your problem. If everything
has been done correctly it may be an infrastructure problem though ie
un-reliable network connection or NTP?
By default, the rhnsd daemon on a client system connects to the Spacewalk
server every four hours (see /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd) and performs any updates
or actions that have been scheduled. If you install the OSA daemon, you can
apply updates and actions to client systems immediately from the Spacewalk
server.
osa-dispatcher
Server-side service that determines when an osad client instance needs to be
pinged or run rhn_check and sends a message telling them to do so. This is
installed when Spacewalk is installed.
Open Source Architecture Daemon (OSAD)
Client-side service that responds to pings and runs rhn_check when told to by
osa-dispatcher.
See official documentation, at the following link, for more details:
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/OSADSetup
Install OSAD and related RHN/Spacewalk packages
# yum -y install osad rhncfg rhncfg-actions rhncfg-client
Spacewalk Actions Control - Enable Scheduled Actions
# rhn-actions-control --enable-all
Spacewalk Actions Control - Show Status
# rhn-actions-control --report
Start OSAD
# systemctl start osad.service OR service osad start
Enable OSAD
# systemctl enable osad.service OR chkconfig osad on
OSAD Log File
/var/log/osad
Hope this is of help
Phil

Hi, Jonathan,
Looks good:

Nerveless the client is offline in spacewalk.

all your clients should have established traffic to the spacewalk server on
port 5222. it should stay in an established state.
[jhorne@dlp-log01 ~]$ netstat -tn|grep 5222

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.8 | Offline Clients
Hi all,
I have the problem that most of my systems (CentOS 6 & 7) are going offline
after approximately one day.
Only if I run rhn_check the systems come online again, but only for short time.
I have tried to install osad service, the service is running but nerveless the
client is going offline.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Best regards,
Harald
