Icinga2 looses state history and notifications during restart

[w1ll-i-code]

Describe the bug

If an object has a state change during an icinga2 restart (e.g. during a deploy), it is sometimes not written to the database and does not trigger the notifications.

To Reproduce

1. Import the basket with icingacli director basket restore < icinga-lost-statechange-basket.json
   1. icinga-lost-statechange-basket.json
   2. This basket contains:
      1. A check command that randomly goes into warning to generate the state changes.
      2. A service template that runs the check command
      3. A service group to quickly create lots of services, making the occurrence more likely.
      4. A host template as the target for the apply rule of the service group.
2. Create a few hosts:

   1. for i in $(seq --equal-width 1 100); do
          icingacli director host create "host-icinga-lost-statehistory-${i}" --imports 'ht-icinga-lost-statechange'
       done

3. Deploy the config
   1. icingacli director config deploy

With that configuration running, deploy icinga2 a few times: icingacli director config deploy --force --wait

Soon there will be state changes in the state history that should not be possible:

In this case, the service went from hard warning into soft warning. The soft warning history says that the last state was Ok, but that was never written into the history.

To find lost state histories quicker I used the following script:
dropped_state_query.tar.gz

It needs as parameters the endpoint, user and password. If the db is postgres, it can be run with the --postgres flag.

Expected behavior

I expect icinga2 to not loose state changes like that.

Additional context

I could observe the loss of notifications in production, have however not yet reproduced that behavior locally. I suspect however that the two behavior are linked.

We could also observe the same behavior when creating objects over the icinga2 api and then immediately sending a check-result. Once again, I have not replicated this locally yet, but I suspect the problem is the same in all these cases.

[w1ll-i-code]

On vanilla icinga2 I can only reproduce it on the rhel8 package:

[w1ll-i-code]

Here is everything you will need to reproduce the same errors locally:

1. Download the tar archive and unpack it with tar -xaf icinga2-bugreport-reproduce.tar.gz
2. In the resulting directory you will find two sub-directories:
   1. dropped_state_query contains a script in rust to locate the lost events more easily
   2. reproduce_local contains a docker-compose to setup the test environment-
3. Fix the credentials in icinga2-bugreport-reproduce/reproduce_local/icinga2-init/rhel8.Dockerfile
   1. The username + password for the icinga2 rhel8 repo
   2. the orgid + activationkey for the redhat subscription
4. To run the test environment run docker-compose up --build in reproduce_local
   1. The docker-compose is a bit flaky, so if a service fails, it might need to be restarted.
5. After the test environment is running, run:

   docker exec reproduce_local_icingaweb_1 bash -c "while true; do icingacli director config deploy --force ; sleep 30; done"

6. In the directory dropped_state_query run

   cargo run -- --host localhost --user icingadb --password icingadb --database icingadb

   1. You might have to install cargo first. For that follow the instructions on https://rustup.rs/

Here is the archive with all needed data:
icinga2-bugreport-reproduce.tar.gz

[w1ll-i-code]

I could also reproduce the same problem on both Debian and RHEL 9, but it was orders of magnitude less likely to happen there.

[w1ll-i-code]

I have now also reproduced the same issue with icingadb:

How to Reproduce:

1. Launch an icinga2 environment from the docker-compose playground

   git clone https://github.com/lippserd/docker-compose-icinga
   cd docker-compose-icinga
   docker-compose up

2. Copy the icinga director basket into the directory
   icinga-lost-statechange-basket.json
3. Load the configuration from the basket:

   docker exec docker-compose-icinga_director_1 icingacli director basket restore < icinga-lost-statechange-basket.json

4. Create a lot of hosts (and with it services from the service set in the basket):

   docker exec docker-compose-icinga_director_1 bash -c 'for i in $(seq -f "%05g" 0 999); do
        icingacli director host create "host-icinga-lost-statehistory-${i}" --imports "ht-icinga-lost-statechange"
      done'

5. Deploy the new director config:

   docker exec docker-compose-icinga_director_1 icingacli director config deploy

6. Deploy the new config every 5 minutes to trigger the bug:

   docker exec docker-compose-icinga_director_1 bash -c 'while true; do sleep 300; icingacli director config deploy --force; done'

From my local tests on a VM with 4 Cores and 8GB of RAM, the error should be observable in around 10 Minutes / two deploys.
To locate the errors automatically from the db, I have attached the rust program I used to analyze the history tables.
dropped_state_query.tar.gz

To run that, download the dropped_state_query.tar.gz file and run:

tar -xaf dropped_state_query.tar.gz
cd dropped_state_query
cargo run --release -- --host 127.0.0.1 --user icingadb --password icingadb --icingadb | tee analyzed-history.log

Hint: Rust can be installed easily from https://rustup.rs/

Once the rust program has found some missing state_history and/or notification, you can verify that by looking at the service history.

[lippserd]

Hi all,

Thank you for all the details. I am trying to reproduce the scenario, but so far without success. When was the screenshot taken? Immediately after executing the queries to check if something is missing in the database? As there is a high chance that Icinga DB has not inserted everything yet.

Also, missing entries in the database do not necessarily mean that Icinga has not sent a notification. That should rather be verified using custom check and notification plugins.

Best regards,
Eric

[w1ll-i-code]

Hello Eric.

I have run the tests over the weekend. Even after several days they do not appear in icingadb. This is of course obvious to you, as I posted the screenshot on the 14th, while the state changes happened on the 10th. And as you know, if it were a few minutes ago, it would not have shown the date, but rather the delta time since then.

As for the notifications, we became aware of the problem, because one of our services went into critical without sending any notifications. That does normally work and we have tried the configuration to make sure it works. It was on pure coincident that we noticed that, which lead us to investigate.

[w1ll-i-code]

@lippserd I have opened a PR to fix the issue.

[w1ll-i-code]

@lippserd Have you seen my PR? I would really appreciate some feedback.

[yhabteab]

The discussion in #10191 was rapidly superseded by the other comments, which is why I am attempting to clarify it her. I would like to begin by emphasising that I do really appreciate the analyses and PR you have presented and have no intention of discrediting them in any way. However, your script relies heavily on data from the database. I am not saying that the data from the database is entirely inaccurate, but there are other factors at play like Redis, Icinga DB etc. Thus, you can't trace a bug in Icinga 2 solely based on the database info. Though, while writing down this comment, I was able to successfully trigger some of the described behaviours with just a few hosts.

But first, I'll start by outlining the current deactivation order (without your PR) of the config objects. Initially, the checker is deactivated before anything else, and typically, during a normal circumstance, there won't be running checks after scheduler stops its thread.

icinga2/lib/checker/checkercomponent.cpp

Lines 79 to 81 in 7a20d98

	std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_Mutex);
	m_Stopped = true;
	m_CV.notify_all();

icinga2/lib/checker/checkercomponent.cpp

Lines 107 to 108 in 7a20d98

	if (m_Stopped)
	break;

Afterwards, it will not schedule any new checks, but it will not stop already scheduled checks either. As a result, you may still observe running checks even after deactivating the checker. However, such running checks left overs should not cause a state change as once the Host or Service is also deactivated, no check result is processed (should not are the key words here! It is challenging, but it is possible to trigger state change events when the timings are perfectly matched). As illustrated in the example below, even if the check plugin has reported a problem state, most of the check results are nevertheless discarded because the corresponding hosts have already been deactivated.

It is possible that the issue you are experiencing may be resolved by the proposed PR #10191, but not because of the checker is stopped last, rather because of the changes to IDO and the Notification class. Therefore, I guess it makes sense to stop IDO, IcingaDB and the Notification component last, as well as to start them before the other objects, as is the case now.

This did indeed alleviate the problem, but it still does not completely solve it.

Would you mind sharing a few more details on what you've done and what isn't still fixed? :)

[w1ll-i-code]

Therefore, I guess it makes sense to stop IDO, IcingaDB and the Notification component last, as well as to start them before the other objects, as is the case now.

I took this suggestion and changed the activation_priority of them to -50 for the ido/icingadb and to -25 for the NotificationComponent. I only experienced a single lost statechange (and subsequent missing notification).

[w1ll-i-code]

I had also a look on the CheckerComponent::ObjectHandler function and saw that if an object was paused, it was erased from m_IdleCheckables and m_PendingCheckables. For testing I cleared both before the shutdown and have not seen any problems since, but I'm still testing. I hope I understood the use of runtimeRemoved correctly?

void CheckerComponent::Stop(bool runtimeRemoved)
{
	{
		std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_Mutex);
		m_Stopped = true;
		if (!runtimeRemoved) {
			m_IdleCheckables.clear();
			m_PendingCheckables.clear();
		}
		m_CV.notify_all();
	}

	m_ResultTimer->Stop(true);
	m_Thread.join();

	Log(LogInformation, "CheckerComponent")
		<< "'" << GetName() << "' stopped.";

	ObjectImpl<CheckerComponent>::Stop(runtimeRemoved);
}
