Description Josh Foots 2018-04-18 16:46:01 UTC
Would like to disable specific messages in the event logs:

For example would like to be able to suppress this message:

Mar 14 18:09:29 sd-2d4e-3c2e atomic-openshift-node: E0314 18:09:29.258706   44414 kubelet_network.go:191] checkLimitsForResolvConf: Resolv.conf file '/etc/resolv.conf' contains search line consisting of more than 3 domains!

Comment 2 Rich Megginson 2018-04-18 16:57:54 UTC
    1. Edit the fluentd configmap e.g. oc edit cm logging-fluentd

    2. In the fluent.conf key, add the following just inside the @INGRESS label:

        <label @INGRESS>
        ## filters
          <filter **>
            @type grep
            <exclude>
              key MESSAGE
              pattern checkLimitsForResolvConf: Resolv.conf file '/etc/resolv.conf' contains search line consisting of more than 3 domains!
            </exclude>
            <exclude>
              key message
              pattern checkLimitsForResolvConf: Resolv.conf file '/etc/resolv.conf' contains search line consisting of more than 3 domains!
            </exclude>
            <exclude>
              key log
              pattern checkLimitsForResolvConf: Resolv.conf file '/etc/resolv.conf' contains search line consisting of more than 3 domains!
            </exclude>
          </filter>

    Not sure about the format of "pattern" but you get the gist.  The actual text could be in the MESSAGE, message, or log field, depending on the source. If you know the message will only come from the journal, you could optimize this somewhat:

          <filter journal>
            @type grep
            <exclude>
              key MESSAGE
              pattern checkLimitsForResolvConf: Resolv.conf file '/etc/resolv.conf' contains search line consisting of more than 3 domains!
            </exclude>
          </filter>

    See https://docs.fluentd.org/v0.12/articles/filter_grep for more details

Comment 3 Chad Scribner 2018-04-18 17:02:57 UTC
1. Proposed title of this feature request
Make checkLimitsForResolvConf event messages configurable

3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Event messages from checkLimitsForResolvConf are polluting both system and project logs.  The request is to add a configuration to turn those event messages off.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
The event message spam is impacting both OCP admins and projects running on OpenShift, making it hard to determine if log entries are actionable or not.  Its also a general problem for applications being onboarded into OpenShift. 

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
- Add a configuration to disable certain event messages at the cluster level and at the project level.

6. For each functional requirement listed in question 5, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
- Change the requested configuration
- Confirm that the event messages no longer occur

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
No

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies?
As soon as possible.

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
No

10. List any affected packages or components.
OpenShift

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Yes

Comment 8 Michal Fojtik 2018-05-09 09:21:40 UTC
Moving to Pod team as it seems like the node agent is emitting them... I agree that we should probably limit the amount of events sent from these components.

Comment 9 Rich Megginson 2018-05-09 13:57:40 UTC
Peter - I believe you have been investigating areas that openshift can reduce the log output

Comment 18 Weinan Liu 2018-08-09 06:56:04 UTC
1. Reboot (master or node) or restart network service, then update /etc/resolv.conf to include more than 3 doamins. (e.g. search cluster.local ec2.internal kube-system.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local kubelet.kubernetes.rancher.internal kubernetes.rancher.internal rancher.internal c.rancher-qa.internal google.internal
)

2. Check if overmuch lines of CheckLimitsForResolvConf error generated
# journalctl --since="1 hour ago"| grep -i CheckLimitsForResolvConf
