Comment 10 David Rosenfeld 2021-06-30 22:37:01 UTC

1. In default deployment:

[heat-admin@controller-0 ~]$ more /etc/containers/containers.conf

[containers]
pids_limit = 4096
[engine]
events_logger = "journald"

[heat-admin@controller-0 ~]$ sudo ls -lrt /run/libpod/events
total 0

In standard deployment events.log is no longer being filled with podman events.


2. In a deployment where podman-baremetal-ansible.yaml updated to log to a file:

heat-admin@controller-0 ~]$ more /etc/containers/containers.conf

[containers]
pids_limit = 4096
[engine]
events_logger = "file"


sudo ls -lrt /run/libpod/events
total 1288
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root       0 Jun 30 18:45 events.log.lock
-rwx------. 1 root root 1317168 Jun 30 19:09 events.log

a few minutes later:

sudo ls -lrt /run/libpod/events
total 1644
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root       0 Jun 30 18:45 events.log.lock
-rwx------. 1 root root 1683401 Jun 30 19:15 events.log

Logging to a file may be enabled if needed.
