My test env was unexpectedly shut down at this moment, I will reinstall another env and provide logs/dumps later. Sorry for any inconvenience.
oc create configmap logging-deployer --from-literal kibana-hostname=kibana... --from-literal public-master-url=https://...:8443 --from-literal es-cluster-size=1 --from-literal enable-ops-cluster=false --from-literal use-journal=true --from-literal kibana-ops-hostname=kibana-ops... --from-literal es-instance-ram=1G --from-literal es-pvc-dynamic=true I didn't see in there anywhere you specified what size the PVC should request. Without es_pvc_size=<number> it won't create anything. Docs (https://docs.openshift.org/latest/install_config/aggregate_logging.html#aggregate-logging-specifying-deployer-parameters) could probably be improved on this and the deployer could throw an error if the user specifies es-pvc-dynamic=true without a size as this is almost certainly a mistake.
I tried with specifying the PVC size, but the issue still is reproduced, like below: oc create configmap logging-deployer --from-literal kibana-hostname=kibana.0901-8gr.qe.rhcloud.com --from-literal public-master-url=https://openshift-138.lab.sjc.redhat.com:8443 --from-literal es-cluster-size=1 --from-literal enable-ops-cluster=true --from-literal use-journal=false --from-literal kibana-ops-hostname=kibana-ops.0901-8gr.qe.rhcloud.com --from-literal es-instance-ram=1G --from-literal es-pvc-dynamic=true --from-literal es-pvc-size=10G --from-literal es-ops-pvc-size=10G
jtconnor helped us out with noticing the reason for this in Origin (https://github.com/openshift/origin-aggregated-logging/issues/224). I'll get the fix from there. In the meantime, the workaround is to specify ES_PVC_SIZE in a template parameter rather than the configmap.
Fixed with logging-deployer:3.3.0-11
