859403 - File slave bugs automatically for known failure cases

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Cooper [:coop] pronoun: he]

When we reach the end of certain code paths in kittenherder, we *know* that the next step is filing a bug to recover the slave, e.g. a talos-r3 machine is unpingable.

There's no sense in waiting for a human to notice that. kittenherder (or replacement) should file that bug (and do the associated dance with the appropriate reboots bug) automatically.

catlee already has some code to do this:

For some reason this bug is marked as a goal.

It's marked as a goal because it's pretty important, and we all agreed to it at the start of the quarter.
