rack controller remained in degraded state

Hi Jason,

Is this still an issue? have you seen it again?

Also, even if degraded, MAAS should be able to continue to work. Are there any issues (e.g. machines failed to deploy, commission, etc).

We haven't seen it in a while, but reporting 'degraded' is a bug
either way, even if we're not seeing any failures. We have to be able
to rely on maas to tell us if it's healthy or not. If the flag doesn't
matter, then get rid of it.

Being in degraded state doesn't mean there's a *bug*. Being degraded means that there are a lot of things that could be wrong, bug or not. If there are no failures, that's good, because despite MAAS being in a degraded state, MAAS is working just fine.

e.g. a MAAS will be in degraded state if it is expecting 3 region controllers, but one of them is down. This doesn't mean there's a bug, this means there's a potential problem and MAAS is not working in its full potential because of a missing region.

Sure - it means there is something we should investigate. We should never
be in a degraded state on a fresh deploy in our test lab.

If you are still experiencing this issue, please feel free to re-open.

MAAS Team

We saw this again on maas_2.7.0-8232-g.6e1dba4ab-0ubuntu1~18.04.1

Saw this again here: https://solutions.qa.canonical.com/#/qa/testRun/d044f76b-a0be-48f3-9bc0-f9502541323b

From the logs DNS on the first maas node went down and the node never recovered. Link to the artifacts from the deployment at the bottom.

Pretty sure we're seeing this again in this run: https://solutions.qa.canonical.com/#/qa/testRun/98caba03-f81c-4be3-8cc7-04e285059dd3

Saw this again again here with the same issues as Michael's run above: https://solutions.qa.canonical.com/#/qa/testRun/c2bd543c-afd2-4212-87d2-afd89cac8bd0

Closing this due to inactivity (low number of occurrences, and no hit for more than one year)

We hit it again today. One of the controllers shows a lot of messages not able to reach postgres VIP and regiond is down. That controller is shown as down and two others as degraded

Running 3.2/stable snap (3.2.6-12016-g.19812b4da) on jammy
