We are running Vault 1.4.2 with role and cred creation on AWS IAM. We have been encountering a “failed to commit WAL entry” error for the following reason.
Delete 127.0.0.1:8500/v1/kv/vault/logical/a3842a67-8dc7-0cba-044e-1e020cc22f8a/wal/7c402cea-73d7-21c4-6bcc-6c9c7650626c: context canceled
We have found the AWS role and cred are created successfully when we refer to the cloudtrail logs.
Our backing store is Consul 1.7.3 and its logs do not show any problems around the same time frame.

When looking into the commit failed error I see the following message. What I do not understand is what does it really mean and how can we fix it.
// Remove the WAL entry, we succeeded! If we fail, we don't return
// the secret because it'll get rolled back anyways, so we have to return
// an error here.
if err := framework.DeleteWAL(ctx, s, walID); err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to commit WAL entry: %w", err)
}
Does anyone have any guidance into where I should be looking next?
