Description of problem:

Upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6.1, the metrics PODs are not successfully comeing back after running the metrics playbook.

MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "kubernetes.io/secret/a91e8025-aebd-11e7-a9ca-005056b50758-heapster-certs" (spec.Name: "heapster-certs") pod "a91e8025-aebd-11e7-a9ca-005056b50758" (UID: "a91e8025-aebd-11e7-a9ca-005056b50758") with: secrets "heapster-certs" not found

There is nothing in the logs related to heapster-certs.

Only potentially interesting thing on the master is;

Metrics were subsequently fully uninstalled and reinstalled with the same failure.

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

3.6.1

How reproducible:

Has happened in 2 of 2 environments.


Steps to Reproduce:

Upgrade ETCD
Upgrade Masters
Upgrade NODES
Migrate Etcd2->3
Enable Etcd data encryption
Upgrade registry
Upgrade router
Upgrade metrics

Actual results:
Metrics fails

Expected results:
Metrics upgrades

What is the OpenShift Ansible version they are using? They if they are installing metrics onto OCP 3.6.1 they need to be using a 3.6.x version of OpenShift Ansible. I suspect that is the problem here.

Comment 12 Juraci Paixão Kröhling 2017-10-13 08:38:34 UTC
Looks like this was a documentation issue (or rather, lack thereof). I'm closing this issue as NOTABUG, but if you think there's something we could do here, feel free to reopen.

Comment 14 dlbewley 2017-10-13 17:38:39 UTC
Same problem in v3.6.173.0.21. Nothing in docs on this particular issue.

The heapster rc has a volume requesting mount of secret `heapster-certs`, but playbook does not create such a secret in `openshift-infra`.

Comment 15 Matthew Robson 2017-10-13 17:53:43 UTC
If you're running into this, here is the solution:

Check the master controller log for a skipping of the service-serving-cert controller. You may need to restart the controller if the logs has rolled over:

Oct 12 10:23:27 atomic-openshift-master-controllers: I1012 10:23:27.804711   49015 start_master.go:773] Starting "openshift.io/service-serving-cert"
Oct 12 10:23:27 atomic-openshift-master-controllers: W1012 10:23:27.804716   49015 start_master.go:780] Skipping "openshift.io/service-serving-cert"

The root of this is a missing cert config for serviceServingCert in the master-config.yaml

Check if this exists for the masters:

controllerConfig:
  serviceServingCert:
    signer:
      certFile: service-signer.crt
      keyFile: service-signer.key

You can generate those keys via;

oc adm ca create-signer-cert --cert=service-signer.crt --key=service-signer.key --name=openshift-service-serving-signer --serial=service-signer.serial.txt

Copy the crt and key into /etc/origin/master/ and add the above config to master-config.yaml and restart the masters.  Service Certs should start working now if you recreate the service.

Typically this would have been created on an OpenShift upgrade via:

https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/blob/release-3.6/playbooks/common/openshift-cluster/upgrades/create_service_signer_cert.yml

But if you do manual upgrades, this would not have been done.

Raised a docs issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501994

And oc adm diagnostics / master startup will be enhanced to better WARN about this:
https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/16863

The missing secret is actually created by the heapster service using a special annotation 'serving-cert-secret':

oc describe svc heapster

[root@osemaster1 etcd]# oc describe svc heapster
Name:			heapster
Namespace:		openshift-infra
Labels:			metrics-infra=heapster
			name=heapster
Annotations:		kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration={"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{"service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name":"heapster-certs"},"labels":{"metri...
			service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name=heapster-certs
			service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-signed-by=openshift-service-serving-signer@1498853387
Selector:		name=heapster

Comment 16 dlbewley 2017-10-13 18:17:42 UTC
Thank you for those details. I am in fact missing `serviceServingCert`. 

I do use the playbook for upgrades and have upgraded this to each point release since 3.0, so perhaps there is a corner case caused by cruft. It appears that those tasks were skipped by conditional evaluation in the playbook. I have a case open 01948010 and will update details there when I investigate further.

From upgrade log:

Comment 18 Eric Jones 2017-11-27 16:44:57 UTC
Reopening this bug as customer in new attached case is seeing the "start_master.go:780] Skipping "openshift.io/service-serving-cert"" message in the master's logs and they do have the controllerConfig stuff in the master config.

We even tried recreating the certs but it still is producing that message ^.

Comment 19 Eric Jones 2017-11-27 16:54:45 UTC
And we might've identified a typo/possible other bug. 

I will update this bug again after getting confirmation from customer

Comment 20 Eric Jones 2017-11-27 18:47:56 UTC
Problem was caused by a typo. Customer had [0] but it should be [1].

[0]
controllerConfig:
  servicesServingCert:
    signer:
      certFile: service-signer.crt
      keyFile: service-signer.key

[1] 
controllerConfig:
  serviceServingCert:
    signer:
      certFile: service-signer.crt
      keyFile: service-signer.key

Correcting this fixed the customer's issue. reclosing this bz.
