Lots of Bulk generate applicability tasks are stuck and causing performance issues after upgrading to Red Hat Satellite 6.17

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • After upgrading to the Red Hat Satellite 6.17, it behaves much slowly during the time of OS patching or after some content-management activities were performed. A high CPU load was observed on the server around those times.

  • A huge amount of Bulk generate applicability ( Actions::Katello::Applicability::Hosts::BulkGenerate ) tasks are generated, and either they are taking way too much time to complete or else completely stuck.

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.17 ( upgraded from 6.16 )
