1840266 – sosreport should collect /var/log/containers when run on OSP

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michele Baldessari 2020-05-26 16:29:24 UTC

Description of problem:
More and more logging information in OSP has moved to /var/log/containers and its subfolders:
[root@controller-2 haproxy]# ls -l /var/log/containers/    
total 8

Especially stdouts is particularly relevant these days, so I think a default sosreport run should simply collect all of this stuff.

The only thing we seem to be logging is the following:
tar tvf /var/tmp/sosreport-controller-2-2020-05-26-zoyxnlx.tar.xz |grep log/containers                                                 
drwxr-x--- root/root         0 2020-05-26 09:55 sosreport-controller-2-2020-05-26-zoyxnlx/var/log/containers/                          
drwxr-x--- root/root         0 2020-05-26 10:14 sosreport-controller-2-2020-05-26-zoyxnlx/var/log/containers/placement/

Comment 1 Pavel Moravec 2020-05-26 16:47:19 UTC

We should collect such logs since 3.8, see containers_log plugin. Maybe you refer to duplicate bug due to a typo:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1834421

that will be fixed in 8.3 and upcoming 8.2.0.z ?

Comment 2 Michele Baldessari 2020-05-26 16:55:47 UTC

Ah thanks Pavel, I did not notice that BZ and got a bit concerned for a sec there ;)

Yep that fixes it totally for us. Closing this as a dupe.
