Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Policy automations can resend assigned Apple and Windows configuration profiles when policies begin failing.
    • Resend activity records now identify the triggering policy and associated host when available.
    • Policy and configuration-profile details are available together for clearer automation tracking.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented deletion of profiles still referenced by policy automations and added guidance to disable those automations before retrying.
    • Improved handling and reporting of resend failures and rejected profiles.

Pull request overview

Adds a new policy automation path that resends an associated MDM configuration profile when a host newly begins failing the policy, records richer resend activity details (including policy attribution), and introduces datastore-level delete guards to prevent removing profiles that are still referenced by policy automations.

Changes:

  • Add processProfileResendsForNewlyFailingPolicies hook in distributed query results processing, backed by a new datastore query for “policies with associated profile”.
  • Extend resent_configuration_profile activity details to optionally include policy_id/policy_name and ensure host-linking is present for feed visibility.
  • Add MySQL FK-based conflict handling when deleting Apple/Windows config profiles that are referenced by policies, plus tests.

  • Batch-delete conflict message has a grammar error ("automations uses") and uses plural “Policy automations ...”, which is inconsistent with the required user-facing copy in the linked issue. Standardizing these messages will improve UX and avoid brittle string matching in tests/docs.

Walkthrough

Adds policy-profile association lookup and policy metadata to configuration-profile resend activities. Newly failing policies on macOS and Windows can trigger eligible profile resends. Tests cover delivery states, policy transitions, activity records, and manual resends. Apple and Windows profile deletion now returns conflict errors when policy automations reference the profile, including batch deletion paths.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 58ed8

The PR changes policy automation/config-profile resend behavior and related datastore paths. A minor grammar defect remains in duplicated batch-delete conflict messages (“Policy automations uses”); it affects only user-facing wording and does not block functionality, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

2618-2705: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider a platform/profile-type pre-check before resend, similar to the VPP automation.

processProfileResendsForNewlyFailingPolicies does not check that the profile referenced by profile.ProfileUUID matches host.Platform before calling checkAndResendHostMDMProfile. processVPPForNewlyFailingPolicies performs an equivalent check (fleet.PlatformFromHost(hostPlatform) != string(policyWithVPP.Platform)) to skip mismatched entries early.

A mismatch here still resolves safely: checkAndResendHostMDMProfile gets a "not found" status for the host and reports it as a rejected, debug-logged skip. Add an early platform check only if you want to avoid the extra lookup and log line in that edge case.

722-726: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The same isMySQLForeignKey(err) + strings.Contains(err.Error(), "fk_policies_resend_..._profile") + fleet.ConflictError construction is copy-pasted at four call sites across two files. Extracting a shared helper centralizes the constraint-name strings and message text, and reduces the risk of the two message variants (single-delete vs. batch-delete) drifting apart in future edits.

  • server/datastore/mysql/apple_mdm.go#L722-L726: extract the FK-check-and-wrap logic into a shared helper, for example conflictErrorForPolicyResendFK(err error, constraintName, message string) error, and call it here.
  • server/datastore/mysql/apple_mdm.go#L2917-L2921: call the same shared helper here with the batch-delete message.
  • server/datastore/mysql/microsoft_mdm.go#L1948-L1964: call the same shared helper here with the Windows single-delete message.
  • server/datastore/mysql/microsoft_mdm.go#L3266-L3270: call the same shared helper here with the Windows batch-delete message.
