#openstack-nova - 2019-11-22
18:22:57 gregwork it was deleted when the stack was cleaned up
18:23:07 gregwork so all i have are the overcloud logs on the various nodes
18:23:18 melwitt I thought you could still see for deleted no? because one of the actions will be 'deleted'
18:23:29 melwitt that's how you can check who deleted an instance and what time, for example
18:23:42 sean-k-mooney if you have not done a db archive/purge it should still be there
18:23:53 gregwork id need the uuid of the instance wouldnt i ? the instances were redployed from a templated name
18:23:59 gregwork or is there a list all events
18:24:19 sean-k-mooney yes you would
18:25:03 melwitt you need uuid
18:25:30 sean-k-mooney you would be hitting this api endpoint https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?&expanded=list-actions-for-server-detail#list-actions-for-server
18:26:31 sean-k-mooney speaking of which is the volume attachmet api call blocking or async https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?&expanded=attach-a-volume-to-an-instance-detail#attach-a-volume-to-an-instance
18:27:11 sean-k-mooney it returns a 200 so i assume its blocking but i expected it to be async
18:27:36 melwitt gregwork: ok, well, just fyi the "action log" 'openstack server event list' is a place to see failed actions that did not actually touch the instance. and there's a new change proposed to add more detail to errors that go in there, to aid in communication to the user https://review.opendev.org/694428
18:28:14 efried melwitt or mriedem or dansmith: Could I please get +A on three simple test-only tech debt reductions (johnthetubaguy just +2ed 'em so they're freshhhh): https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:use-base-test-code+(status:open+OR+status:merged)
18:28:30 efried johnthetubaguy: thanks for that btw
18:28:30 melwitt gregwork: this came up recently with a change in behavior in the resize and migration APIs too http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-November/011040.html
18:29:57 sean-k-mooney melwitt: ya although in that context that is because we changed it to async so you have to check the action log going forward
18:30:22 sean-k-mooney melwitt: if attach is currently blocking the we woudl expect the error to be returned there
18:30:33 melwitt yeah. I'm just saying it brought the action log to my attention as a thing to use more regularly
18:30:33 sean-k-mooney if its async then it would only be in the action log
18:30:46 sean-k-mooney yep
18:30:58 melwitt because prior to that, the only time I've seen action log used is when you're like "who deleted this instance and on what date"
18:31:29 sean-k-mooney did that come up on the mailing list
18:31:45 sean-k-mooney the fact the userid was missing or somthing like that
18:31:46 melwitt and I know, some other clouds use it on a regular basis, just in yahoo when I was there, they didn't. so maybe other people don't
18:31:57 gregwork so there is an instance id in the python traceback of nova-compute.log
18:32:06 gregwork failed to attach xxx to for id
18:32:10 gregwork let me try that
18:34:40 gregwork im guessing the instance id in this line is not actually the instance uuid ?

18:34:45 gregwork error while running command.
18:34:56 gregwork doing an openstack server even list 1e65006f-58ee-470d-9111-522d5c63094d
18:34:59 gregwork says its unknown
18:35:15 gregwork *event
18:35:31 sean-k-mooney am you might need to pass a --deleted flag
18:35:35 sean-k-mooney if we support that
18:36:04 gregwork there is no --deleted flag
18:36:11 gregwork at least not in my osc
18:36:29 sean-k-mooney looking at the api i dont see one either
18:36:50 gregwork melwitt: seemed to think this was a thing, hence the "show when something was deleted"
18:37:34 melwitt yeah, I know it used to. that was the one use I saw in yahoo. let me take a quick look
18:37:53 melwitt ah ok
18:38:14 melwitt you have to do openstack --os-compute-api-version 2.21 openstack server event list
18:38:24 sean-k-mooney i assume if do an openstack server show with that uuid i assume it give you nothing
18:38:35 melwitt apparently ability to show deleted was added in 2.21 version of the api
18:38:56 melwitt https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/command-objects/server-event.html#server-event-list
18:39:12 gregwork is that api available in queens ?
18:39:29 sean-k-mooney oh yes that is mentioned in the api ref too
18:39:36 melwitt gregwork: yes https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/api-microversion-history.html#id19
18:39:48 melwitt added in mitaka
18:41:56 gregwork $ openstack --os-compute-api-version 2.21
18:41:56 gregwork (openstack) server event list 1e65006f-58ee-470d-9111-522d5c63094d
18:41:56 gregwork No server with a name or ID of '1e65006f-58ee-470d-9111-522d5c63094d' exists.
18:42:15 melwitt sean-k-mooney: I dunno, I see userid when I do openstack server event list abd23967-2dd5-42ea-b96b-a226ee07ad44 --long
18:42:27 melwitt I'm gonna try on my devstack
18:42:42 sean-k-mooney melwitt: yes but it was added i think in stien or rocky
18:43:12 sean-k-mooney i think specificly for the how deleted my vm case you mentioned
18:43:21 melwitt sigh, wtf it's not working for me either
18:44:25 melwitt what am I missing here...
18:45:10 sean-k-mooney same "openstack --os-compute-api-version 2.21 --os-cloud openstack server event list cef12383-3f43-44cf-be52-218a4da30c0a" fails
18:45:43 melwitt gregwork: ok well the trusty legacy client works nova instance-action-list d7446288-688b-4a44-be78-008aa1ca524c
18:46:15 melwitt sean-k-mooney: I bet it's some underlying osc thing where it can't get deleted servers. I don't know. have to dig into what's going on there
18:46:49 gregwork | create | req-b76ac906-148b-497a-8d87-72a65be367bd | - | 2019-11-22T17:26:28.000000 | 2019-11-22T17:26:52.000000 |

18:46:59 melwitt HALLELUJAH
18:47:17 gregwork so there is an error being observed but nothing seems to react to it
18:47:28 gregwork horizon/heat all just whistle by
18:47:59 gregwork "volume error? cool story bro"
18:47:59 melwitt yup. because the instance is still in a working state, it's not put into ERROR
18:48:06 melwitt lol
18:48:08 melwitt well,
18:48:39 melwitt as you have noticed there's no task/status api and if there are any they're not unified,
18:49:05 melwitt so our only way of communicating errors for asynchronous operations is basically ERROR state and 'server events'
18:49:11 sean-k-mooney ya i would guess heat did not check the responce
18:49:28 sean-k-mooney i think attach is blocking so it should have been return to heat
18:49:33 melwitt yeah, I mean, heat could probably do something. but I don't know that much about heat
18:50:07 gregwork the heat behavior is it sits there
18:50:20 gregwork no errors, just waiting
18:50:30 gregwork it eventually times out when its auth token expires
18:51:13 melwitt we don't put the instance into ERROR because it's in a perfectly healthy state, it's just the attach didn't work, which sucks, but it doesn't mean the instance is broken or unusable. so that's why we don't do ERROR state. other than that, the API is async so return code will be 202 ACCEPTED but it can obviously fail after that point after the request goes async
18:51:46 sean-k-mooney melwitt: which api is async?
18:52:04 melwitt sean-k-mooney: is attach not async?
18:52:32 sean-k-mooney its respocne code is listed as 200
18:52:36 sean-k-mooney which would imply not
18:52:36 melwitt I assumed it must be based on the behavior. gregwork did you call volume attach or something else?
18:53:10 sean-k-mooney https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?expanded=attach-a-volume-to-an-instance-detail#attach-a-volume-to-an-instance
18:53:12 gregwork i create a data volume with os::cinder::volume then attach it using ::volumeattach
18:53:33 sean-k-mooney gregwork: are you attaching via nova or cinder
18:53:38 gregwork cinder
18:53:38 sean-k-mooney oh heat
18:53:39 melwitt yeah it shows as a cast
18:53:41 gregwork via heat
18:53:51 melwitt attach_volume is a cast (async)
18:53:57 gregwork i mean i assume os::cinder::herpderp means its talking to cinder ?
18:54:14 gregwork (heat that is)
18:54:14 sean-k-mooney the we are returning the wrong responce code it should be a 202 as you said
18:54:21 melwitt fun
18:54:40 gregwork i try and bring only quality bugs to these channels :)
18:55:00 melwitt THANKS gregwork
18:55:39 gregwork heh np :P
