schedulers - implement automatic reboot

[mapellidario]

intro

We want to automatically reboot all crab schedulers at least once a year.

prerequisite

We should figure out how to be nice to HammerCloud on schedd restart if we want to automatically reboot our schedds: https://github.com/dmwm/CRABServer/issues/7410

implementation

We had a brainstorming session in udine and so far the simplest thing that we could think of is

• move the list of enabled schedds that TW should use from gitlab to puppet.
• every schedd in the list should have a new parameter alongside the current "enabled: 0/1", and it should be the desired date of schedd reboot. make sure that there is no overlap in these dates! If you want to be fancy, you could also have a list of dates, in order to accommodate for multiple reboots per year.
• TW reads the configuration and if the "(current time - reboot time) < 1week", then TW should stop using that schedd
• add a daily cronjob to the schedd. if the "(current time - reboot time) < 2d" (using 2 days with a daily cronjob should avoid negative results, maybe they can be a problem in a bash script) then reboot the schedd. the reboot procedure should be
  • hold all the running dagmans, specifying "schedd reboot" as hold reason
  • condor_off
  • reboot
  • (condor_on should be automatic)
  • add a systemctl service unit, systemctl timer, hourly cronjob, whatever system you like, that releases all the hold dagmans that match the "schedd reboot" hold reason

I used github "report" option. But would be better if we could prevent
