Does Red Hat bother to monitor its CDN for erratum delivery?
Rewording post:
We have repeatedly been told that Red Hat monitors its CDN for erratum delivery. In practice, this does not appear to be the case. The question is why does Red Hat not monitor its CDN and instead makes customers jump through all kinds of hoops attempting to get Red Hat to actually look at their CDN and see the obvious problem with old metadata or missing packages.
The other frustrating aspect is to see Red Hat erratum delivered by CentOS and even Oracle before we can get them via the RHN CDN. It is not a matter of slowness, but the erratum are not available!
You can see these on the RHN hosted console when looking at how auto-applied-errata failed to be applied. If I worked at Red Hat within RHN, I would immediately write this query and create a dashboard.
"How many systems on the CDN have auto-apply-errata checked and failed to install a given errata?" Seeing a very high error rate would raise some sort of internal red flags, one would think.
original rant text:
Just curious why Red Hat does not actively monitor that its CDN is delivering erratum. It is frustrating to consistently see Oracle and now Centos deliver errata faster than Red Hat RHEL RHN does.
Responses
Seems the broken update notice problem is back again today on the CDN. I don't believe it is related to fastrack channels this time. Disabling optional seems to clear the messages so probably the optional/base pair this time aren't in sync.
Bump. Updates to RHEL5 Server seems to have broken again.
The setroubleshoot security update from 2015-03-26 is missing as is everything subsequent to that:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0729.html
Still no updates are coming through on RHN for RHEL5-Server. I'm not seeing anything after the last Firefox update on 2015-03-24
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-errata.html
Tried 'yum clean all' but to no avail.
Is there anyone active here who can help or do I need to open yet another support case for this?

Hi Phillip,
I have looked into this with a few people and we are not seeing a systematic issue and are able to get updates. There may be something going on with the RHEL 5 channels that we did not uncover but have not seen anything yet and are not getting wide spread reports from others.
Would you mind opening a support case so that we can troubleshoot this further. You can ask to have me added to it for follow up.

We've had a good run here but all day (at least since the release of the new RHEL5 kernel today) I've been getting

I have been seeing similar for many months and, to be quite honest, have given up hoping that the system will ever be fixed. Here follows an example of what I see with the hundred or so (I haven't bothered to check the exact number) advisory lines grep-ed out --

Any chance someone could look at this? It has been broken for days. The errata released today showed up hours ago for servers but the workstation repos are still broken and do not contain any of today's errata.

I got informed earlier this afternoon that a sync had failed and monitoring did not pick it up. They fixed what was wrong and things were backed up.
I believe that every thing should be making its way through but will make sure what you have mentioned is looked at.
I know it is release day and sometimes we need to be patient for things to sort themselves out but I think there is a problem with the RHEL6 64-bit server primary channel on hosted. I can download around 125 rpms but then the update fails telling me that the download for libxml2 and openssl do not match the intended download. It suggested cleaning the metadata and trying again which I've down a few times with no change. Can someone take a look please.

All RHEL5 i386/x86_64 Servers and RHEL5 x86_64 Workstations are updating happily.
Anyone else having issues?
All the computers have active subscriptions with RHN. One, which had lost its child channel subscriptions owing to temporarily having been downgraded to "Update" rather than "Management" entitlement, was prepared to update until I readded the "RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)" child channel to depsolve some packages, at which point I got this:
Error: failed to retrieve repodata/00c88bd13aefb00b56c228e899f418a0ace9a077-filelists.xml.gz from rhel-i386-client-workstation-5
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Which is subtly different, but still indicates some kind of issue with this child channel.

Could someone from Red Hat look into this issue? Does the particular channel reported by Ben seem OK? If so, can you confirm this is not the problem with the CDN?

Looks like it was indeed the CDN issue. According to this post and this note, it's been fixed by flushing the CDN cache:
"I could not find any issues with the repodata files on RHN itself and suspect an issue with CDN caching. I've flushed the cache for the rhel-i386-client-workstation-5 repodata URLs."

It seems to me that RHEL7 workstation is not updating on the CDN. Newly delivered metadata is still from yesterday and missing all of the errata issued today. When will this pain ever end? :)
Can someone please kick the rhel-7-workstation-rpms channel on the CDN? Metadata is about 20 hours old now and the pam security update is not getting through. Thanks.

Still no openldap errata on RHEL7 CDN channels. We continue to prove that Red Hat does not adequately monitor its CDN for erratum delivery.
I believe I got the openldap update yesterday but the updateinfo metadata is broken as well on both server and workstation.

Is there anything more we can do to help? We have been reporting these problems over and over in this ticket for more than a year now and while at times it has seemed better it still keeps breaking and Red Hat continues to not seem to notice until someone from outside points it out. I know I would be willing to help if I could so I didn't have to worry so much about updates not being available.
updateinfo is still a mess on the CDN for rhel-7 --- maybe yum just shouldn't print out all the broken or a bad duplicate messages so we don't know it is broken? Not ideal but at least we don't have to wade through all of them to find actual updates. Or I suppose it could be fixed on the CDN so it isn't broken too.
updateinfo still broken on rhel-7-server. tzdata still missing on rhel-5-server and rhel-6-server.
And the most amazing of all things today is that following yum clean all; yum check-update I was subscribed to the rhel-sap-for-rhel-{5,6,7}-server-rpms channel! Seriously? WTF?
Another week and we still have broken updateinfo. I'm giving up on this ever working now. Really I am. We'll just pretend it isn't broken like our upstream does from now on.

Feels like the content delivered by the CDN is having issues today. For example:

I've just logged another support ticket, but hopefully someone from Red Hat monitoring this thread might be able to kick things into life again...
The libxml2 security update still hasn't reached the CDN for at least some repos. Just checked el7 Workstation, as of last night it wasn't available in the el7 or el6 Server repos. It is available from both CentOS and Oracle in public repos, sigh.

I will be able to share more information on this program and determine the best way to keep you and others updated on our progress in the New Year.

Hello Shea, we have again identified a CDN issue. Could you please share more information from your December 2015 comment?
Hello Daryl. We created a team to focus on the problem and identified numerous areas of focus.
This is the current status.
--Upgrading systems to improve the infrastructure and help with reducing push times. This upgrade was completed at the beginning of the month.
-- Reviewed the push process end to end and identified a number of steps that could be improved on for specific use cases. This is ongoing, some of it has been completed and the rest of it needs to be tested and validated before being released.
-- Increased repodata validation by performing multiple checks against systems to verify correctness. This is under development.
-- Remove coupling we have between RHN and RHSM to improve time to delivery and help with consistency. This is ongoing and hope to have a lot of it completed by the end of the month.
I am hopeful that when we get more of the things currently in development released we will see less problems, but this is not the end and we will continue to identify and improve on things until we hit goals set for speed, accuracy and consistency.

Critical: samba and samba4 updates (badlock fixes) were announced/released more than 24 hours ago. I still do not see them on my RHEL-6 systems. The rhel-6-server-rpms/repomd.xml file is dated Mar 25. yum cache has been cleaned a few times by now. Could someone please look into the issue?

Hi everyone.
Is something going to change with "Update notice is broken?" I have each and every RHEL7 system reporting issues with rhel-* repositories nightly via yum-cron.
Could someone take a look at this one. RHEL 7 Workstation broken again on the CDN.
