Description Dan Mace 2019-09-27 10:48:23 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1756302 +++

Description of problem:

From Trevor King:

UX bug: when the configured private zone cannot be found (e.g. because you try to identify it with the wrong kubernetes.io/cluster/{id} tag, https://storage.googleapis.com/origin-ci-test/pr-logs/pull/openshift_release/5196/rehearse-5196-pull-ci-openshift-installer-master-e2e-aws-upi/3/artifacts/e2e-aws-upi/must-gather/cluster-scoped-resources/config.openshift.io/dnses.yaml ), currently the ingress operator seems to go into some sort of error-accumulating death spiral, ending up with https://storage.googleapis.com/origin-ci-test/pr-logs/pull/openshift_release/5196/rehearse-5196-pull-ci-openshift-installer-master-e2e-aws-upi/3/artifacts/e2e-aws-upi/must-gather/namespaces/openshift-ingress-operator/pods/ingress-operator-595cbc88bd-rg8g4/ingress-operator/ingress-operator/logs/current.log which has a few gigantic lines:

$ curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/origin-ci-test/pr-logs/pull/openshift_release/5196/rehearse-5196-pull-ci-openshift-installer-master-e2e-aws-upi/3/artifacts/e2e-aws-upi/must-gather/namespaces/openshift-ingress-operator/pods/ingress-operator-595cbc88bd-rg8g4/ingress-operator/ingress-operator/logs/current.log | wc
     36 3216009 50502408

and ends with ... "error": "etcdserver: request is too large"}.  We probably want to truncate that error accumulation, and maybe only return the most recent error for a given DNS entry (currently the last error message that still fit into etcd seems to be reflected in https://storage.googleapis.com/origin-ci-test/pr-logs/pull/openshift_release/5196/rehearse-5196-pull-ci-openshift-installer-master-e2e-aws-upi/3/artifacts/e2e-aws-upi/must-gather/namespaces/openshift-ingress-operator/ingress.operator.openshift.io/dnsrecords/default-wildcard.yaml ).
