[ovirt-users] Unprompted engine VdsDeploy -- updating a package on host?

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

If it's user-initiated, how do I see who initiated it?  I was in bed when
it happened so I know it wasn't me.  And I don't have any other admin
users.

Looking in my engine.log file I see:

2016-12-12 23:16:46,941 INFO
[org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.VdsDeployBase]
(DefaultQuartzScheduler9) [4eb758cf] Connected to host HOST.DOM.AIN with
SSH key fingerprint: SHA256:<removed>
2016-12-12 23:16:47,020 INFO
[org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.VdsDeployBase]
(DefaultQuartzScheduler9) [4eb758cf] Installation of HOST.DOM.AIN.
Executing command via SSH umask 0077; MYTMP="$(TMPDIR="${OVIRT_TMPDIR}"
mktemp -d -t ovirt-XXXXXXXXXX)"; trap "chmod -R u+rwX \"${MYTMP}\" >
/dev/null 2>&1; rm -fr \"${MYTMP}\" > /dev/null 2>&1" 0; tar
--warning=no-timestamp -C "${MYTMP}" -x &&  "${MYTMP}"/ovirt-host-mgmt
DIALOG/dialect=str:machine DIALOG/customization=bool:True <
/var/cache/ovirt-engine/ovirt-host-deploy.tar

I can certainly send more than this... But I certainly didn't initiate
anything at 23:16, and I don't see anything in the event log in the UI.  I
*DO* see "Host has available updates" message in the log from 23:17, but
that doesn't explain why the system would auto-install (or auto-update)
the 'iproute' package??

[host]# tail -f /var/log/yum.log:
Dec 12 23:17:17 Updated: iproute-3.10.0-74.el7.x86_64

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-derek
