Description Greg Rodriguez II 2020-01-16 20:22:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Customer is experiencing the problem described in BZ 1729322 [1] but in their OCP 3.11 environment.  Issue was resolved with a 4.1 Errata [2] and customer would like to push for a 3.11 backport.

Running 'sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144' on each of their infra nodes did resolve the issue, which is discussed as a workaround in the BZ [1].

Customer would like to know if an official fix to resolve this issue is available in 3.11 without the need to run the above command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OCP 3.11

There is no way to run openshift-loggign in 3.11 without this setting; Elasticsearch has a hard fail if it detects its any other value.  Please ensure you are using the latest playbooks which already include [1]

The installer during running logging install should already update this setting.

Comment 3 Jeff Cantrill 2020-01-28 20:53:50 UTC
Closing NOTABUG since this already exists in 3.11. Suggest ensuring they are using the latest playbooks and the playbook completes sucessfully.
