Description rhev-integ 2017-11-12 15:14:28 UTC

+++ This bug is a downstream clone. The original bug is: +++
+++   bug 1490447 +++
======================================================================

Description of problem:
ovirt-log-collector collects logs from all hosts, which makes its output too big to handle. Specifying a list of hypervisors by name is tedious and error-prone. People tend to be using --no-hypervisor and miss the purpose.

This RFE is about adding a midway --one-hypervisor-per-cluster. When supplied to the script, the script would choose one host per cluster, and collect its logs. The current SPM and the current host of a self-hosted-engine should be included as well.

We would like to backport this to 3.6-els, to ease log collection prior to upgrade.

Comment 5 rhev-integ 2017-11-12 15:14:49 UTC

My 2 cents:
1. If this will be turned off by default, customers won't be using it / will keep using --no-hypervisor
2. "--one-hypervisor-per-cluster" name is too long, I would prefer something shorter and more user-friendly such as 
3. Easy way to fix 1. would be to ask question on --no-hypervisor to include at least 1 or if user is sure that hypervisors should be omitted

QS:
What host do we choose? SPM? With PM? First host? Random host? Does it matter for DEV on debugging side?

Why is the bug still on new state?
