pspng throw errors on memberships of a large deleted group

I created a loader group that had 4k members. Maybe 15 minutes later I realized I dont need this group, so I deleted it. I got 4k error emails from logging about each membership going through the changelog. Note that this group was not provisioned to pspng.

Note: I didnt need to move the changelog pointer forward, it went through the records and logged all these erors filling up my email box.

Maybe its a matter of not logging at ERROR level here? I assume ERRORs might be configured to email, so only log to errir if it is truly an error.

Three answers and three questions:

• No: I would not expect any recent patches to help. This is related to GRP-1479, fixed a year ago.
• Yes: It sounds like moving the changelog pointer forward is necessary
• Yes: Please reopen GRP-1479 or create a new jira

• Is there a particular reason PIT information can't be found for this group?:
  PITGroup pitGroup = PITGroupFinder.findMostRecentByName(groupName, false);

• Can you share (in the jira) more details.

FWIW, both the GROUP_ADD and GROUP_DELETE handling should recover smoothly from PIT-lookup failures:
GROUP_ADD handling contains:
if ( grouperGroupInfo == null || grouperGroupInfo.hasGroupBeenDeleted() ) {
LOG.info("Ignoring GROUP_ADD event because group {} has been since deleted from grouper", grouperGroupInfo);
workItem.markAsSuccess("Ignored: group does not exist any more: %s", workItem.getGroupName());
return;

GROUP_DELETE process contains:
if ( grouperGroupInfo == null )

{ workItem.markAsSuccess("Ignoring group-deletion event because information was not found in grouper"); return; }

• What type of event is the changelog bookmark stuck on?

Thanks

Bert,

I created a group loaded it with 3k members. Then a little bit later, decided I don’t need it. Now Im getting a bunch of errors:

2018-02-15 13:31:17,995: [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-6] ERROR Provisioner.getGroupInfo(1208) - Unable to find PIT group 'penn:isc:ait:apps:twoFactor:groups:twoStepTempServ'

Note, this group isn’t even provisioned by pspng…
Is this fixed in a patch somewhere? Is the fix to stop the loader and move the change log pointer forward? Should I open a jira?

Thanks
Chris
