Description Bob Fournier 2019-10-03 13:25:54 UTC
Description of problem:

After a fresh install of RHEL 8.0, attempted an undercloud install.  It failed due to missing rsyslog:

[stack@hardprov-dl360-g9-01 undercloud-ansible-54348tim]$ cat ansible-errors.json 
{"hardprov-dl360-g9-01": [["Check if rsyslog exists", {"msg": "non-zero return code", "cmd": "systemctl is-active rsyslog", "stdout": "inactive", "stderr": "", "rc": 3, "start": "2019-10-02 01:52:11.855265", "end": "2019-10-02 01:52:11.862984", "delta": "0:00:00.007719", "changed": true, "invocation": {"module_args": {"_raw_params": "systemctl is-active rsyslog", "_uses_shell": true, "warn": true, "stdin_add_newline": true, "strip_empty_ends": true, "argv": null, "chdir": null, "executable": null, "creates": null, "removes": null, "stdin": null}}, "stdout_lines": ["inactive"], "stderr_lines": [], "_ansible_no_log": false}]]}[stack@hardprov-dl360-g9-01 undercloud-ansible-54348tim]


Can workaround this by installing rsyslog manually:
$ sudo dnf install rsyslog
$ systemctl start rsyslog.service


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

Using compose 
RHOS_TRUNK-16.0-RHEL-8-20190823.n.1 


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install RHEL 8.0
2. Follow procedures to install undercloud - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/15/html-single/director_installation_and_usage/index#installing-the-undercloud

Comment 1 Alex Schultz 2019-10-29 22:41:48 UTC
So the issue here is that both haproxy and swift look for rsyslog. I wonder if we should continue with the rsyslog requirement and explicitly ensure it's installed/running or look for an alternative.
