Description daniel 2018-03-12 09:02:32 UTC

Description of problem:

With multiple different pods and hence applications running on nodes it can easily happen that one misbehaving pod is writing so many logs so that journald is rate limiting and blocking even affecting logs from other pods and missing then in the journal and up the efk stack or even affecting the node itself. Similar situations could happen with json log driver if a pod gets really crazy.

Therefore it would be good to have a possibility to introduce rate limiting on a per pod bases, allowing a pod to write e.g. only a certain amount of logs per time unit so it can be prevented to affect or even block logs from other pods and bringing the node into trouble.

With the introduction of OpenShift 4, Red Hat has delivered or roadmapped a substantial number of features based on feedback by our customers.  Many of the enhancements encompass specific RFEs which have been requested, or deliver a comparable solution to a customer problem, rendering an RFE redundant.

This bz (RFE) has been identified as a feature request not yet planned or scheduled for an OpenShift release and is being closed. 

If this feature is still an active request that needs to be tracked, Red Hat Support can assist in filing a request in the new JIRA RFE system, as well as provide you with updates as the RFE progress within our planning processes. Please open a new support case: https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/new

As the new Jira RFE system is not yet public, Red Hat Support can help answer your questions about your RFEs via the same support case system.
