RHBA-2014:0393 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rhevm-reports package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization reports package provides a suite of
pre-configured reports and dashboards that enable you to monitor the system. The
reports module is based on JasperReports and JasperServer, and can also be used
to create ad-hoc reports.

All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization reports and data warehouse users are
advised to upgrade to this updated package which addresses this issue.

Changes to the ovirt-engine-reports component:

• Previously, when the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager was configured

using a password that contained special characters, those special characters
would be escaped when stored in the 10-setup-database.conf file. However, the
rhevm-reports-setup command would not recognize such characters as being escaped
and would therefore fail to run. Now, escaped characters are correctly
interpreted. (BZ#1072405)

• Previously, the rhevm-reports-setup command would fail when run on a system

configured to use the Brazilian Portuguese language (pt_BR). This was caused by
an error in using the status of a service as a conditional, which resulted in
the postgresql service not being restarted. Now, the conditional is dependent on
a return code, and the rhevm-reports-setup command restarts the postgresql
service without issue. (BZ#1074952)

• Previously, the rhevm-reports-setup command would sometimes fail to establish

PKI trust the machine on which the Red Hat Enterprise Virutalization Manager was
installed, causing the command to fail. Now, the method of retrieving the root
certificate authority certificate from the SSL session has been revised to
support a greater variety of SSL configurations. (BZ#1064827)

• Previously, running the rhevm-reports-setup command after upgrading reports

from version 3.2 to version 3.3 would fail if the Apache httpd was stopped. This
would cause the command to exit before writing to the 10-setup-database.conf
file, resulting in a new engine_reports user being created with a random
password and preventing the rhevm-reports-setup command from succeeding in the
future. Now, the writing of credentials is performed earlier in the setup
process, ensuring that credentials are correctly written even in the event of a
failure. (BZ#1072466)

• Previously, the BR18 report would contain inaccurate values under some

circumstances. This was caused by the 'Unknown OS' value being changed to 'Other
OS' and the reports query filtering results in accordance with the previous
value. Now, results are filtered in accordance with the operating system ID
instead of the operating system text description, allowing the BR18 report to
display the correct values. (BZ#1059268)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
