What does too lengthy mean? How long is too long?

Shorter will also mean more terse == less understandable

Also I could not find any information about message size limit in Splunk. This might be configurable.

Maria, could you please ask for log extract from their Splunk instance showing the error, or, at worst, a screenshot?

The buffer size for messages currently set in their Splunk instance is 10,000 bytes.

Below is a log snippet from their Splunk instance which sets off the error:

This size of this message is 10,381 bytes.

The customer is looking for a resolution using the command line options and the config file.  Is this possible?

The request was to combine --failures-only and --output-type human into a single option. There is no reason they can't pass both.

The RFE is to have command-line option equivalents in the tool configuration file so the options are honored during execution via systemd timer without having to modify the rpm-provided script.

Hi,

To clarify, can Failures-only and output-type be set via the configuration file? The ask is to be able to have these options set in the /etc/ipahealthcheck/ipa-healthcheck.conf so it can utilize the timer (see below) and trigger based on the specified interval failures only and human-readable output:

# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/ipa-healthcheck.timer

[Unit]

Description=Execute IPA Healthcheck every day at 4AM

 

[Timer]

OnCalendar=*-*-* 04:00:00

Unit=ipa-healthcheck.service

 

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

> file? 

No those options are not currently available in the configuration file.

Do we have plans on implementing this functionality ? Customer is requesting this RFE.

Like all RFEs this will be evaluated along with the others during release planning based on complexity and capacity.

Upstream PR https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-healthcheck/pull/227

Most CLI options, are available in the config file in the default section.

The first one wins so if an option is in the config then there is no overriding it on the command-line.

An additional option, --config, was added to provide a separate configuration file so one can override the default one.

This was a pretty invasive change. A backport to 0.7 could be difficult.

@rcritten set devel_ack & DTM and ask for qa_ack & ITM

Looks like a backport from 0.10 won't be too bad.
