rlandy+114:24
rlandylast call for reviews to raise14:24
rlandyk ...moving on to bugs14:26
rlandy#topic: Bugs14:26
rlandy#link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-cyborg14:26
rlandyone bug in New state:14:26
rlandy#link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-cyborg/+bug/216543214:26
rlandymelwitt, looks like you reported this one14:26
melwittyes, this fell from some smartnic testing I did last week with the generic pci driver14:27
sean-k-mooneymelwitt: is that a bug or feature14:27
sean-k-mooneythe phsyical_network is not docuemented as beign expected to wrok correct14:28
melwittso it could be debatable whether it is a bug14:28
sean-k-mooneyi feel like we shoudl supprot that14:28
sean-k-mooneyso im thinkign its a wishlist RFE bug14:28
sean-k-mooneyor specless blueprint14:28
melwittnot sure how detailed the documentation is but I should look14:28
sean-k-mooneynot somthign that need heavy tracking14:28
sean-k-mooneyits more or less absent14:28
sean-k-mooneyi dont think thye generic driver was intended to suprpot smarnics14:29
sean-k-mooneyhwoever i also dont see a reason not too14:29
sean-k-mooneyand it woudl allow use to eventually remvoe the special nic drivers14:29
melwittyeah. it appears it would not take that much to make the pci driver support them14:29
sean-k-mooneyso i woudl be oke with addign the rfe tag and markign this as whishlist14:29
sean-k-mooneybut we proably woudl not backprot this14:30
melwittsounds ok to me14:30
sean-k-mooneydoes that owrk for others14:30
jgilaber+114:30
sean-k-mooneyas a general topic im debating which fo spec, bluepirnt and rfe bug we want to use for cybrog in general14:31
sean-k-mooneyi think for small things like this i woudl prefer to have wishlist rfe bugs if its small rahter then specless bluerpints14:31
sean-k-mooneybut we can dicuss that later unless folks haven an imideate reaction/prefence14:31
melwittI like specless blueprints personally but am not vehement about it14:32
sean-k-mooneyneutron starts alls feature enhacment as an RFE bug and graduates to bluepritn or specs if it need more trackign or discussion14:32
gamio_as a newer contributor, the rfe bug flow worked well for 2161354. no spec needed and low friction14:33
sean-k-mooneyi guess for nwo we can triage things in the meeting as they come up14:34
sean-k-mooneyadn we can write down our perfered flow next cycle14:34
sean-k-mooneyok for now i have updated https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-cyborg/+bug/216543214:36
sean-k-mooneyanythin esle we want ot discuss on that14:36
rlandyall set on this topic, melwitt?14:36
sean-k-mooneymelwitt: is this somethign you want to adress for rc1 or 2027.114:36
melwittyes all good. I was thinking 2027.114:37
sean-k-mooneyi assumed the latter ya14:37
rlandyk ... moving on ...14:37
opendevreviewMerged openstack/cyborg master: Improve installation guide index  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cyborg/+/100177414:37
sean-k-mooneyi want to add nic emualtion to the pci-sim next cycel adn we can discuss testing this with that later14:37
rlandy#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-cyborgclient14:38
rlandylooks all triaged here14:38
rlandyso let's move on to the open discussion14:38
rlandy#topic open discussion14:38
rlandyanything else to bring up today?14:38
melwittjust wanted to share that I proposed a spec for 2027.1 for adding a services table and versioning and heartbeats etc if anyone might be interested https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cyborg-specs/+/100199914:39
sean-k-mooneyi guess a minor admin thing14:39
sean-k-mooneyah let start with your topic14:39
sean-k-mooneyya i will hopfely look at that next week14:40
sean-k-mooneyi think my main feedback before was14:40
sean-k-mooneyif we supprot healtchecsk at all i woudl prefer to supprot the per binday helathchecks14:40
sean-k-mooneylike was propsoed for nova/manilla14:41
*** gamio_ is now known as gamio14:41
melwittnot a ton to say about it but that I'm thinking of it as a first step toward being able to support rolling upgrades which I think we need for production readiness14:41
sean-k-mooneythe services api i thnk makes sesne but not sure about forced down14:41
melwittyes i remember :) per process healthchecks. I was thinking that would not be part of this particular spec work but would be a thing to add separately14:42
sean-k-mooneyya so i think that is what we shoudl use it for14:42
sean-k-mooneyi dont think the service api shoudl really be a monitoring api14:42
sean-k-mooneyit can report state14:42
sean-k-mooneybut i think its value is for rolling upgrdes14:43
melwittsame, I am personally thinking we will not have forced down but wanted to put it out there for discussion in case others have thoughts14:43
sean-k-mooneyim not actully sure we even need state/staus14:43
sean-k-mooneyi.e. if its up14:43
sean-k-mooneywe may but if we had per service healthcheck endpoint its not stricly needed14:43
melwittreally? I was thinking it would be nice to know when/if each agent reported in14:44
sean-k-mooneyyes it can be but if you can monitor that externally14:44
sean-k-mooneyits not strictly required14:44
sean-k-mooneyso its nice to have rahter then requried14:44
melwittah. yeah, I see what you mean14:44
gamiointerested, I'll take a look at 1001999 this week14:44
sean-k-mooneyim not nessialy saying we remove it14:45
sean-k-mooneyjsut not prostion it as the primary way for operator to detech that14:45
sean-k-mooneyprostion -> propose/postion14:45
melwittgotcha. if I had to guess I would expect cloud operators would prefer to have it available as a CLI command for example to see "up/unknown" sort of status. even if there is also healthcheck data available externally14:46
sean-k-mooneyyep so i think they are complementary14:46
sean-k-mooneybut if the service info was a bit stale or delayed that woudl not be a bug14:46
sean-k-mooneyif you need lifeness checking with low latency then the main rest api is not the scaleable solution14:47
sean-k-mooneybut if it answering has this agent checked in in the last 60s its fine14:48
melwittyeah14:48
sean-k-mooneyanything else on this you want to highlight?14:48
melwittno that was it14:48
sean-k-mooneycool then the admin itime i had is https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-cyborg14:49
sean-k-mooneyill go thru and update the serise adn status on those on monday14:49
sean-k-mooneywe will need to reappvoe/retarget any that are not merged by firday to next cycle14:49
sean-k-mooneythat was all i had just noting we need to create the 2027.1 serise on all launchpads and update them as needed14:50
rlandythank  you sean-k-mooney14:50
rlandyanything else?14:50
rlandymoving on ... 14:51
