Fixed In Version: rhevm-log-collector-3.3.1-1.el6ev
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When rhevm-log-collector attempted to collect logs from Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts, the process was suspended indefinitely while processing the SELinux sos plugin. This update adds a "-t" flag to the ssh command used in the log collector, which provides a controlling TTY to finish the rhevm-log-collector process after the host sosreport is collected.

Description Derrick Ornelas 2013-09-20 20:38:03 UTC 
Description of problem:  When rhevm-log-collector attempts to collect logs from RHEL hypervisor the process hangs indefinitely while processing the selinux sos plugin because of the following line:

        self.collectExtOutput("ausearch -m avc,user_avc -ts today")



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhevm-log-collector-3.2.2-4.el6ev.noarch
sos-2.2-38.el6_4.2.noarch

How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run 'rhevm-log-collector' on an environment containing a hypervisor running full RHEL 6



Actual results:

The rhevm-log-collector command never finishes, and sosreport runs indefinitely on the RHEL 6 hypervisor


Expected results:

The rhevm-log-collector command finishes after the host sosreport is collected 


Additional info:

The issue appears to be that the ausearch command requires a controlling TTY(pty), and hangs indefinitely without access to one.  The ssh command that rhevm-log-collector runs does have a controlling TTY.
Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2013-09-23 06:26:46 UTC 
There is an open bug about ausearch, however it seems that running it through ssh with -t flag is enough for providing the needed TTY.
I just need to check if adding that flag has other implications.
Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2013-09-24 14:45:58 UTC 
Patch pushed upstream master by James W. Mills.
Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2013-09-25 13:12:27 UTC
