I did a quick test in my environment and continuous audits works in both *master* and *stable/2024.2 *branches. I was also using the dashboard from *master *branch for both tests. I created Audits using an audit template as shared, with *dummy with scorer *strategy. The audit went to the ONGOING state right away, and proposed an action plan. @Mohd you may want to check the details of your Audits to get more info about Created Date and Next Run Time (the later may be only available using the python-watcherclient) For reference in my env: watcher stable/2024.2: 56dae607 (HEAD -> stable/2024.2, origin/stable/2024.2) [stable-only] Consolidate and improve Zuul CI job definitions watcher master: 1d32e734 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Retry calls to nova API when connection errors are detected watcher-dashboard master: aaebb77 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Merge "Adopt Ruff for security; remove Bandit and fix style" Att, On Tue, Dec 30, 2025 at 1:24 PM Sean Mooney <smooney@redhat.com> wrote:

adding `[watcher]` tag to subject

im on pto for another 2 weeks or so but ill highlight it to others.

2023.1 is EOL but if you report a bug we can see if it reproduces on master and fix it on the supported stable branches if viable.

we have fixed quite a few bugs in the 2025.1 and 2025.2 release that may have been related.

Hello OpenStack Community,

I am facing an issue with *Continuous Audits* in Watcher. After creating the audit with an interval, the audit remains in the *PENDING* state and does not generate any action plans.

All Watcher services are running, and the *audit is created successfully without errors*.

Could you please help identify what might be missing or misconfigured?

Openstack version: 2023.1

/*I have attached some screenshots for your reference. */

Thanks, *Mohd Atif Ansari*
