  • only mitigate the problem by optimizing data reaching queries and connection reuse.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected MongoDB configuration to prevent logical-session cache growth and rejected sessions.
    • Removed obsolete restore handling for unsupported sharded deployments.
  • Operational Improvements

    • MongoDB connections now identify their associated VitamUI service in monitoring and logs.
    • MongoDB restarts occur safely, one replica-set member at a time, with health checks.
    • Added a read-only diagnostic utility and documentation for stalled logical-session cleanup.
    • Updated development CAS settings, encryption keys, and password-reset behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add service-specific MongoDB client names, remove the shard-server role, serialize replica-set restarts, update CAS settings, and add a read-only logical-session diagnostic script with operational documentation.

Changes

MongoDB operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure MongoDB client names
api/.../application-dev.yml, cas/.../application-*.yml, deployment/roles/vitamui/templates/*/application.yml.j2
MongoDB URIs now include service-specific appName parameters.
Update replica-set configuration and restarts
deployment/roles/mongo/templates/mongod.conf.j2, deployment/roles/mongo/tasks/*, deployment/roles/mongo/vars/main.yml, deployment/roles/mongo_configure/tasks/*
The deployment removes sharding.clusterRole: shardsvr, validates existing shard identity data, and performs conditional serialized restarts with readiness checks.
Update CAS settings
cas/cas-server/src/main/config/application-dev.yml, deployment/roles/vitamui/templates/cas-server/application.yml.j2
CAS development access, metrics export, cryptographic keys, session-replication cookie encryption, and password-reset MFA behavior are updated.
Diagnose logical-session cleanup
deployment/scripts/diagnose_mongo_logical_sessions.js, deployment/README.rst
A read-only diagnostic script checks MongoDB topology, session cache metrics, session storage, TTL cleanup, cursors, and change streams. The documentation describes direct-member routing and exit codes.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 083d4

MongoDB configuration updates may be written without being activated during tagged deployments, and the documented administrator diagnostic command may permit an unencrypted credentialed connection. These deployment and credential-protection risks should be addressed before merge.

In `@deployment/roles/mongo/templates/mongod.conf.j2`:
- Line 46: Before applying the mongod.conf.j2 change or restarting an existing
deployment, add a preflight or migration that removes the admin.system.version
document with _id "shardIdentity". Ensure this cleanup runs for existing
deployments so mongod can restart without requiring sharding.clusterRole:
shardsvr, while preserving the configuration note that clusterRole must not be
declared.
- Around line 53-54: Update the comments near mongod_replicaset_name and
replSetName to remove the claim that shard0 is purely cosmetic, and state that
replSetName is retained for compatibility with VitamUI client URIs, mongo_init
checks, and replica-set initialization using _id "shard0".

In `@deployment/scripts/diagnose_mongo_logical_sessions.js`:
- Line 22: Update the mongosh invocation in the connection example to remove the
password placeholder from the URI and use the --username and --password options,
leaving mongosh to prompt for the password while preserving the existing host,
port, database, and replica-set parameters.
- Around line 185-189: Update the reaper-failure classification around
recordCache.sessionsCollectionJobCount, activeSessionsCount, and
lastSessionsCollectionJobEntriesRefreshed so a single zero-refresh sample is not
reported as PROBLEM. Require confirmation across two samples, or emit only a
warning until zero refreshed entries with rising active sessions repeats.

In `@deployment/roles/mongo/tasks/main.yml`:
- Line 82: Update the MongoDB preflight probe and its failure handling to use
the effective data path `/vitamui/data/mongod`; tolerate probe failures only
when that directory is uninitialized, but fail the preflight when an initialized
data directory cannot be queried so the existing `shardIdentity` guard is not
bypassed.

In `@deployment/scripts/diagnose_mongo_logical_sessions.js`:
- Around line 22-24: Configure the MongoDB role’s mongod TLS settings, then
update both command examples in
deployment/scripts/diagnose_mongo_logical_sessions.js (lines 22-24) and
deployment/README.rst (lines 218-220) to use tls=true with the required CA and
client certificate options, keeping the administrator diagnostic connection
consistent.
- Around line 22-24: Update
deployment/scripts/diagnose_mongo_logical_sessions.js at lines 22-24 and 343-344
to document and distinguish the existing primary/reaper check from a per-member
mongosh invocation using directConnection=true; retain the current URI for the
primary check. Update deployment/README.rst at lines 218-220 and 224 to include
the direct member command and clearly distinguish primary results from direct
member comparisons.
- Line 94: Update the topology reporting paths using probe() so null results
remain explicitly unavailable and emit a WARNING instead of being treated as a
normal replica set or absent document. Preserve unavailable
logicalSessionRefreshMillis rather than substituting five minutes, and gate
timing-based fail() conclusions until the actual refresh interval has been read.

66-96: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fail closed when the mongosh preflight is inconclusive. failed_when: false suppresses probe errors, and the guard checks only stdout. A failed connection, authentication, or command can therefore let the role write the non-sharded configuration and restart a node with a retained shardIdentity document. mongod then refuses to start. Require rc == 0 and a definitive marker before continuing; fail otherwise.

mongod was started with "sharding.clusterRole: shardsvr", inherited from the
VITAM platform deployment along with the "shard0" replica set name and a
restore script iterating over a groups[mongoc] host group. VitamUI has no
mongos and no config server: the inventory only defines hosts_vitamui_mongod.

A shard server does not create config.system.sessions itself, it expects the
cluster to have done it. With no cluster behind it the logical session reaper
never runs, so the in-memory session cache grows monotonically until it
reaches maxSessions and MongoDB rejects every new session with "Unable to add
session ID ... into the cache because the number of active sessions is too
high". Only a mongod restart clears it, which is exactly the production
incident.

Measured on two mongod 8.0.23 instances differing only by --shardsvr, after
opening 200 sessions and forcing a cache refresh:
  plain replica set: activeSessionsCount 200 -> 1, lsidTTLIndex present
  shard server:      activeSessionsCount stuck at 209, no sessions collection

The replica set keeps its "shard0" name: renaming it would mean rewriting
every application URI for a purely cosmetic gain.

Alongside the fix:

  - deployment/scripts/diagnose_mongo_logical_sessions.js, a read-only mongosh
    script telling whether the reaper is actually running on a node. It reports
    the cluster role, the logicalSessionRecordCache counters, whether
    config.system.sessions exists with its TTL index, and open change streams
    as a counter-hypothesis, then prints a verdict. The most discriminating
    check is a sessions collection job that keeps ticking while refreshing zero
    records: the job count and timestamp both look healthy, but every cycle
    bails out before touching a single session. Validated against the same two
    instances: clean verdict on the plain replica set, three problems on the
    shard server.

  - appName on every MongoDB URI, deployment templates and dev profiles alike,
    so that $currentOp and the mongod logs attribute sessions and cursors to a
    named service instead of a bare ip:port. The CAS dev URI carries no query
    string, hence "?" there and "&" elsewhere.

  - removal of restore-mongod.js.j2. It is wired into no Ansible task and could
    not run anyway: groups[mongoc], mongodb.mongoc_port and mongodb.system.user
    are all undefined, and db.removeUser() was removed from MongoDB in 3.2.
    Left in place it is a trap, since it writes a shardIdentity document
    carrying a configsvrConnectionString, which is precisely what makes mongod
    refuse to start without clusterRole. Git history keeps it should a real
    sharded topology ever be needed.

Upgrade note: nodes must be restarted for this to take effect, secondaries
first then stepping down the primary. Check beforehand that no node carries a
shardIdentity document in admin.system.version, otherwise mongod refuses to
start without clusterRole.

Removing "sharding.clusterRole: shardsvr" from mongod.conf.j2 makes the
template change on every existing deployment, which fires the "mongo - restart
service" handler. Handlers are flushed at the same barrier on every host of the
play, and ansible.cfg sets forks = 20, so all the members of the replica set
went down within the same second: a quorum loss with a write outage instead of
the failover a member by member restart would have been.

The same play then went through mongo_configure, whose restart task looped over
groups['hosts_vitamui_mongod'] with delegate_to while already running on each
of those hosts. Every member was therefore restarted once per member, all of
them concurrently, and the only wait_for came after the whole loop.

Both restarts are now a block carrying throttle: 1, which is the one keyword
serializing a sequence of tasks rather than a single one. A member is taken
down, waited for on its port, then waited for until db.hello() reports it back
as primary, secondary or arbiter, before the next member is touched at all.
db.hello() needs no authentication, which matters in mongo_configure since the
restart there is what enables it.

serial: 1 on ansible-vitamui/mongo.yml would have been the obvious alternative,
but it breaks a first installation: the mongo_rs_bootstrap block waits for the
mongod port on every member of the replica set, and mongo_init needs the set to
be initiated, neither of which holds while the other hosts have not been
installed yet. throttle only constrains the restart, the rest of the play keeps
converging in parallel.

The handler is dropped in favour of an explicit "restart required" fact
computed from the tasks that used to notify it, since a handler cannot carry a
block. No explicit rs.stepDown() is needed before restarting a primary: a clean
SIGTERM makes mongod hand the primary role over before exiting.

Dropping sharding.clusterRole from mongod.conf leaves one way for a node to
break: mongod refuses to start when admin.system.version holds a shardIdentity
document and no cluster role is declared. The upgrade note asked operators to
check for it by hand, which is both easy to skip and checked too late, since
the configuration has already been replaced by the time mongod is restarted.

The mongo role now probes for the document before writing mongod.conf and stops
the play with the command to remove it. The check is deliberately advisory
about what to do: a shardIdentity document also legitimately means the node is
a shard of a real sharded cluster, which VitamUI never builds but which the
playbook cannot rule out on its own.

Reading admin.system.version needs the admin credentials, so a node whose
authentication is not enabled yet returns nothing and is skipped. That node is
being installed and carries no sharding history.

Five things the script got wrong or left implicit.

The connection example carried the password inside the URI, where it lands in
the shell history and in the process arguments every other user of the machine
can read. It now passes --username and a valueless --password, which makes
mongosh prompt for it.

The staleness threshold was hardcoded at 15 minutes and the message claimed the
job runs every 5, while logicalSessionRefreshMillis had already been read a few
lines above. Both now derive from that parameter, so a tuned node is judged
against its own refresh period.

A job refreshing zero record was reported as a problem. It is the sharpest
signal the script has, but one sample cannot carry it: a healthy but quiet node
whose sessions were all opened since the last cycle reads exactly the same. It
is now a warning telling the operator what the second run has to show, which is
also what the header already asked for.

When the change stream lookup failed, the whole section printed nothing, which
reads like an absence of change streams rather than an absence of measurement.
It now says so.

The script always exited 0, so supervision had to parse the report to learn
anything. It now exits 1 as soon as a PROBLEM was raised and prints the problem
and warning counts above the findings.

The note left next to the removed cluster role said the "shard0" replica set
name was purely cosmetic. Nothing about it is: mongod_replicaset_name is the
replicaSet= of every application URI, init-replica.js.j2 initiates the set with
that exact _id, and mongo_init reaches the nodes through it. It also pointed
"below" at a replSetName sitting above it.

What is cosmetic is the gain a rename would bring, which is what the note now
says, so that nobody reads it as an invitation to drop the name along with the
cluster role it was grouped with.

Every other MongoDB URI now carries an appName so that $currentOp and the
mongod logs attribute sessions and cursors to a named service. The recette
profile of the CAS server holds the same URI as the dev one and was left out,
which is exactly the profile where an unattributed connection is hardest to
trace back.

The script ships in the deployment tarball but no document mentioned it, so the
operators it is written for had no way of knowing it exists. The deployment
README now carries an Exploitation section with the mongosh invocation, what
the exit status means and why a WARNING calls for a second run.

Run against a real deployment, the script died on the first refused command
instead of degrading:

  === Sessions collection ===
    collection: present
  MongoServerError: not authorized on config to execute command
      { count: "system.sessions", ... }

and mongosh exited without ever printing the sections that follow, nor the
verdict. probe() was supposed to make exactly this a single "unavailable" line.

It never could. mongosh rewrites the shell API calls made inside the callback
into awaited ones, and awaits the call to probe() itself, but it does not await
fn() inside probe: a denied command came back as a rejected promise long after
the try block had been left, so the catch never ran. probe() now attaches the
handler to the promise it is handed, which is what actually catches it, and
keeps the try/catch for whatever throws synchronously. Writing "await fn()"
instead is not an option: mongosh parses the file as a plain script, where top
level await is a syntax error.

The refused command is estimatedDocumentCount(): counting documents in
config.system.sessions needs privileges the root role does not carry on 8.0.23.
Nothing else in the diagnosis depends on it, so it now comes after the TTL index
check rather than before it, and an unavailable count prints nothing rather than
"approximate document count: null" under the line explaining why it is missing.
A restricted account still gets the answer it came for, and only loses the line
it could never read.

The preflight probes admin.system.version with failed_when: false, so a probe
that cannot run lets the deployment through. The justification written next to
it, that only a node being installed cannot be read, is wrong: an existing node
whose mongod is stopped, or whose admin credentials are refused, reads exactly
the same. That node then gets its configuration rewritten and restarted without
a cluster role, which is precisely the failure the check exists to prevent.

The two cases are told apart by the data directory. A node with no initialized
dbPath is being installed and carries no sharding history, so an unreadable
admin.system.version is expected there and goes through. A node that already
holds data and still cannot be read now stops the play, with the manual command
to check it and an escape hatch, mongod_skip_shard_identity_check, for when the
answer has been obtained by other means.

The path tested is not storage.dbPath: the container unit passes --dbpath on its
command line, which overrides mongod.conf and puts the data one directory above.
mongod_effective_db_path carries the difference.

The documented URI carries replicaSet=, which is right for the diagnosis itself:
the reaper only runs on the primary and that parameter takes the connection
there whichever member seeds it. It also makes the script unable to do what its
own verdict asks for. "Re-run this script on every replica set member and
compare activeSessionsCount" cannot work through a replica set URI, which reads
the primary every time whatever host is named, so the comparison would be the
primary against itself. The "not connected to the primary" warning could never
fire either.

Both the header and the deployment README now carry the direct connection form
alongside the replica set one, and the verdict says which of the two the
comparison it suggests needs.

probe() answers null on a command error, and three readings then took that null
for an answer.

The worst is the cluster role. An absent sharding section also leaves it null,
so a node whose getCmdLineOpts was refused printed "(none - plain replica set)":
a diagnosis script announcing the all clear on the very configuration it exists
to find. It now prints "(unknown)" and warns to check mongod.conf by hand.

The shardIdentity lookup has the same shape, since findOne() legitimately
answers null when the document is absent. The call is wrapped in an object, so a
null wrapper means the probe failed and a null document means the node is clean;
only the second is reported as "absent".

logicalSessionRefreshMillis fell back to five minutes, and every staleness
conclusion is measured against it. On a server started with a longer interval
that silently turned a healthy job into a PROBLEM. The interval is now reported,
marked as assumed when it could not be read, and a conclusion drawn from an
assumed interval is a warning rather than a problem.

The rolling restart added earlier does not roll. "throttle: 1" on a block
serialises each task of that block across the hosts, one after another, not the
block as a whole per host. The restarts therefore still landed within a second
of each other and only then was the first member waited for, which is the
outage the change was meant to avoid.

Measured on Ansible 2.9.27, three hosts, a block of "record time, sleep 3,
record time" carrying throttle: 1:

  n1 1788959094.012 -> 1788959103.784
  n2 1788959094.144 -> 1788959103.896
  n3 1788959094.279 -> 1788959104.007

The three sequences overlap end to end. Only the sleeps were serialised, which
is what made the whole thing take nine seconds and look right.

Driving the members from a single host with a loop over the group gives what
was wanted, same three hosts, same sleep:

  n1 1788959148.887 -> 1788959152.200
  n2 1788959152.364 -> 1788959155.687
  n3 1788959155.844 -> 1788959159.166

The per member sequence moves to rolling_restart.yml in the mongo role and to
restart_member.yml in mongo_configure, included once per member with
delegate_to. Whether a given member needs restarting is read from its own
mongod_restart_required through hostvars, so a member whose configuration did
not change is still skipped.

…t tasks

A tag on an include_tasks gates the include itself, not what it brings in. The
two restart sequences moved into their own files therefore carried no tag, and
a run limited to --tags update_mongodb_configuration wrote the new mongod.conf
and then skipped every restart and every wait, leaving the configuration it had
just written inactive.

Measured on Ansible 2.9.27, an include tagged update_mongodb_configuration
pulling in one debug task, run with that tag:

  without apply: only the sibling tagged task runs
  with apply:    the included task runs as well

Both includes now carry apply.tags. The untagged run is unchanged.

@Regzox Regzox added the OPS REVIEW Mandatory if deployment/ directory is modified. label Sep 9, 2026
Five defects found while reviewing the branch:

- mongod_restart_required dereferenced mongod_package and
  mongod_service_file, which are never registered in a run limited to
  --tags update_mongodb_configuration since neither task carries that tag.
  The "changed" test raises on an undefined value, so the very run the
  surrounding comments protect aborted on the first mongod host. Both are
  now guarded with "is defined".

- probe() could not detect a failed runCommand: mongosh hands back the raw
  {ok: 0, errmsg: ...} response without throwing or rejecting, so a
  restricted account read as a successful probe with every field missing
  and the script printed "clusterRole: (none - plain replica set)" on a
  node nobody could read. Anything carrying an "ok" other than 1 now turns
  into an unavailable probe, and the getParameter and buildInfo probes go
  through probeField() so their field is read only once the command itself
  is known to have succeeded, instead of yielding undefined and, further
  down, "cache usage: NaN%". An unreadable hello or serverStatus now warns
  rather than leaving its section blank.

- The post-restart replica set wait was skipped whenever the pre-restart
  probe failed for any reason, unreachable member included, so the loop
  moved on as soon as the port was open. On a three member set that means
  two members down at once and the quorum lost, which is what the rolling
  restart exists to prevent. The state is now read after the restart, where
  "belongs to no replica set" and "could not be reached" are no longer
  indistinguishable.

- The shardIdentity guard hard-failed on arbiters: they have a WiredTiger
  file under their dbPath but replicate no admin.system.users, so the
  authenticated lookup could only be refused. With any_errors_fatal, that
  aborted every deployment of an inventory declaring an arbiter.

- A member outside the current play batch resolved to "no restart needed"
  and was skipped silently, leaving it on the previous configuration while
  the play reported success. It is now reported explicitly.
