rhevm-dwh bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rhevm-dwh package which fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization provides a comprehensive management history
database. Reporting applications use this database to generate reports about the
historical state of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment.
This updated package fixes these bugs:
- The Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process previously aggregated history
information incorrectly. This resulted in duplicate records appearing in the
database views. The ETL process has been updated and now correctly aggregates
history information for all objects. Duplicate records no longer appear in the
database views (BZ#843468).
- Once records in the history tables reach a certain (configurable) age they are
removed. This cleanup activity was previously not being performed for the
"host_interface_samples_history" table. This resulted in the table growing in
size over time and taking up excessive amounts of disk space. The ETL process
has been updated and now removes old records from the table correctly
(BZ#861430).
- Previously, the virtual machine hourly history view and the virtual machine
daily history view in the engine database contained duplicated records with the
same history identifiers. Duplicated history identifiers distort historical
data. The views were corrected so that each entry has a unique history
identifier. The statistics contained in the views are no longer prone to
distortion caused by duplicated history identifiers (BZ#868937).
All administrators of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environments are advised
to upgrade to this updated package.
