Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When creating an ES cluster of size 3+ the node quorum and recovery settings prevent oc getthe first ES node from ever reaching a ready and green state in time during a fresh install. Consequence: The playbook times out waiting for the first ES node to be ready. Fix: When we create new ES nodes, we do not wait for them to be healthy since the recovery settings and quorum would have changed and will need all nodes to be running at the same time. Result: We no longer see the playbook time out when creating large clusters of ES nodes.

Description Andrew Block 2018-02-11 16:02:34 UTC
Description of problem:

Unable to fully execute Aggregated Logging playbook when specifying multiple replicas of Elasticsearch.

Fails to rollout Elasticsearch replicas

FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for logging-es-data-master-hsjwgec4 to finish scaling up (60 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for logging-es-data-master-hsjwgec4 to finish scaling up (59 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for logging-es-data-master-hsjwgec4 to finish scaling up (58 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for logging-es-data-master-hsjwgec4 to finish scaling up (57 retries left).

Issue can be overcome by specifying the following inventory variable

logging_elasticsearch_rollout_override=true

Once playbook completes, each Elasticsearch DeploymentConfig can be rolled out

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

3.7.23

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify multiple replicas of Elasticsearch in inventory

openshift_logging_es_number_of_replicas

2. Execute Aggregated Logging playbook

ansible-playbook [-i </path/to/inventory>] \
    /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/byo/openshift-cluster/openshift-logging.yml

Actual results:

Playbook fails as Elasticsearch never becomes ready


Expected results:

Aggregated logging playbook completes successfully

Andy,
is this during a fresh installation or an upgrade?

Comment 2 Andrew Block 2018-02-12 15:58:45 UTC
(In reply to ewolinet from comment #1)
> Andy,
> is this during a fresh installation or an upgrade?

It occurs on both install and upgrades

Comment 3 ewolinet 2018-02-12 16:53:57 UTC
This should resolve the fresh install issue: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/pull/7097

When you say that the upgrade fails, is it that the playbook fails ultimately, or you see "FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for logging-es-data-master-hsjwgec4 to finish scaling up (# retries left)." shows up in the logs a lot?

Also to clarify, when you say upgrade you do mean there is an existing deployment of logging and it is being upgraded? (not just that OCP is being upgraded and a fresh installation of logging is being installed).

Comment 4 Mark McKinstry 2018-02-12 23:24:09 UTC
I've been using the below command to deploy the ES pods after using Andy's workaround:

for x in $(oc get dc -l component=es -o=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name --no-headers); do oc rollout latest $x; done;

Comment 7 Anping Li 2018-03-01 02:56:11 UTC
Same issue with openshift3/ose-ansible/images/v3.7?

Comment 10 Anping Li 2018-03-06 06:45:16 UTC
Pass with openshift-ansible:v3.7.36.
