Description Takashi Kajinami 2020-12-02 08:06:31 UTC

Description of problem:

The containers-tmpwatch cron job executes tmpwatch command to purge some old files under /var/log/containers.
However this currently includes symlink in files it processes, and purge /var/log/containers/swift symlink[1] a while after initial deployment.

[1] https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates/blob/407991def9fa04cd6650e24deb1cdd267d6860ac/docker/services/swift-proxy.yaml#L251-L255


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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy overcloud with LogrotatePurgeAfterDays:1
2. Wait for one day

Actual results:
/var/log/containers/swift is deleted

Expected results:
/var/log/containers/swift is not deleted


Additional info:

Comment 1 Takashi Kajinami 2020-12-02 15:05:59 UTC

I mentioned this in the lp bug report and my previous patch to master, but I noticed that we do not expect the same issue since Rocky because we no longer use symlink but actual directory for /var/log/containers/swift[1]

[1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates/+/574221

So we need to fix this only in Queens (Pike has the same issue but it's no longer maintained)

Comment 2 David Rosenfeld 2020-12-02 18:00:46 UTC

Leaving with DF since previous containers-tmpwatch BZs were fixed by DF.

Comment 3 Cédric Jeanneret 2020-12-16 16:12:30 UTC

Giving it to you Takashi, since you already have the needed changes - Thanks!
