[18:16] <ryland> Hi everyone. I have a weird cloud-init behaviour on RHEL8 (21.1.15.el8). I am deploying a VM in vSphere 7.0.3. I created the extraconfig guestinfo.userdata, its visible in the advanced vm config and i created guestinfo.userdata.encoding entry. Inside the vm, I can get the correct configuration via vmware-rpctool (vmware-rpctool 'info-get
[18:16] <ryland> guestinfo.userdata' | base64 -d | gzip -d). When I put the decrypted config into /var/lib/cloud/instance/cloud-config.txt and run the module manually, it works fine. So it seems the config is correct. 
[18:17] <ryland> Is there a way that I can check if cloud-init can read the information from the guestinfo config? I am not quite sure i am interpreting the logs right
[18:20] <ryland> I can see the following output in the cloud-init-output.log: "Cloud-init v. 21.1-15.el8 finished at Wed, 18 May 2022 17:38:09 +0000. Datasource DataSourceOVF [seed=vmware-tools]"
[18:21] <ryland> I guess that means it reads from the right source
[18:23] <ryland> The module that I have trouble with, is the cc_rh_subscription module. Even though i have the correct config, it seems to not execute on that
[18:24] <blackboxsw> ryland: `sudo cloudinit query userdata` will tell you what cloud-init officially saw from the datasource 
[18:25] <blackboxsw> ryland: `sudo cloudinit devel schema --system --annotate` will till you if cloud-init thinks the userdata format provided to it is valid or not
[18:26] <blackboxsw> those commands on your system prior to your manual replacement of  /var/lib/cloud/instance/cloud-config.txt 
[18:27] <blackboxsw> `sudo cloudinit query --all` gives you and overview of all instance data (metadata, vendordata merged_cfg on disk etc) if you are poking around at what a datasource provides to cloud-init
[18:27] <ryland> blackboxsw: thank you, that is very helpful. let me redeploy and run the commands and see what i get
[18:29] <blackboxsw> +1 ryland and `cloud-init analyze show` should tell you whether it ran the cc_rh_subscription module. `cloud-init status --long` will tell you if tracebacks or errors were encountered during initial system config or boot
[18:38] <ryland> blackboxsw: Thank you so much! Let me put that in my notes and run the commands, I hope i will then have a clearer picture of whats going on
[18:55] <ryland> blackboxsw: well, that clears it up nicely. the "cloud-init query userdata" already shows nothing
[18:55] <ryland> so i think it is save to say that it does not "see" the data that is in the extra vm config
[18:57] <ryland> the datasource_list is OVF, VMWare, None. In that order. That seems about right
[20:19] <blackboxsw> Thanks for going through the cloud-init upstream 22.2 release cut holmanb, aciba and falcojr. Thanks too minimal(Alpine), esposem(RHEL/CentOS)  and otubo(RHEL-CentOS) for your distro work and validation  prior to this release.
[20:20] <blackboxsw> I'm going through the process of uploading 22.2 to Ubuntu Kinetic now as it looks like holmanb's upstream snapshot sync into /ubuntu/devel branch contains all we need for release.
