Executing command 'dnf' in directory '/root'

[gabardyne]

Question

I see this in the logs of my systemd venv-salt-minion service on rocky8 clients:

Executing command 'dnf' in directory '/root'

It repeats every ten seconds. Is it normal? Is it possible to make it repeats every 1 minute instead?

Hello,
Thanks for the answer.
It will changes to run every 2 minutes on rhel in the next uyuni release?

I see this error in dnf log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 67, in main

File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf-plugins/needs_restarting.py", line 261, in run
raise dnf.exceptions.Error() # Sets exit code 1

Do I need to be worried about that?

about the error maybe @wweellddeerr may know more.
The change in the frequency will happen in a future release, I'm not sure if the next one. But if not, would be 2 form now.

@gabardyne
In the meantime, I can recommend implementing this custom configuration to lessen the log spam ; )
