Unable to sync repo in Red Hat Satellite

[Morrisong]

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this. I'm new to elastic and I'm a bit stuck.
I'm unable to sync the repository at https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum to the channel our Satellite 5 server. There seems to be an invalid file extension on one of the packages in the repo:

2020/05/18 09:02:47 +01:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'elasticsearch', '--type', 'yum']

I've tried excluding the offending package, but it still won't sync:

2020/05/18 10:50:23 +01:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'elasticsearch', '--type', 'yum']

Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

aarch64

Hi,
I had the exact same problem, but I managed to solve it by using the filter feature of the repository definition on spacewalk. I used the term -*.aarch64

Prior to using the filter my log looked like this:
2020/05/19 05:00:19 +02:00 Command: ['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'centos7_es-7x', '--type', 'yum']

After using the filter:

It seems your filter settings didn't work.

Hi Babelr,
Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work:

The empty list below is filtered.
Clear filter to see all 334 items.
-*.aarch64
Package Summary Content Provider
No packages found for this criteria.

Filtering for *.aarch64 also returns no packages.
Filtering for .aarch64 returns just the one package (as expected).
Filtering for -.aarch64 returns no packages.

In fact, filtering for "-" followed by anything returns no packages.

After going through it all again I don't know how many times, I found another place to put the filter: under "Manage repositories".
Putting the filter there (instead of on the package selection page) worked.
Many thanks to Babelr
