Description of problem: Command satellite-maintain logs its activity to file /var/log/foreman-maintain/foreman-maintain.log with DEBUG log level in its default configuration. Compounded with files at /var/log/foreman-maintain not being rotated as per bug 1917422 , this can add up over time and exhaust the space available at /var/log: # ls -lrt /var/log/foreman-maintain total 1728620 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32735994 Jul 22 2020 foreman-maintain.log.3.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 53485973 Jul 22 2020 foreman-maintain.log.2.gz -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 10240018 Mar 21 00:48 foreman-maintain.log.8 -rw-------. 1 root root 10240058 Mar 23 09:42 foreman-maintain.log.7 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 10240587 Mar 25 17:42 foreman-maintain.log.6 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 10241774 Mar 27 23:50 foreman-maintain.log.5 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 92984095 Mar 28 09:05 foreman-maintain.log.4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 520596683 Mar 28 09:05 foreman-maintain.log.3 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 978868396 Mar 28 09:08 foreman-maintain.log.2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 30777676 Mar 28 09:11 foreman-maintain.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 10240035 Mar 31 00:11 foreman-maintain.log.0 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 9389622 Apr 1 15:55 foreman-maintain.log (1.7 GB) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rubygem-foreman_maintain-0.6.13-1.el7sat.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "satellite-maintain service status" repeatedly Actual results: Disk usage at /var/log/foreman-maintain grows by 143KB on each invocation. Expected results: A lower log level such as ERROR helps preventing disk space at /var/log from being exhausted. Additional info: The default contents of configuration file /etc/foreman-maintain/foreman_maintain.yml already specify ERROR log level, but the line is commented out: # cat /etc/foreman-maintain/foreman_maintain.yml # Directory where the logs are stored. # The default file is named as /log/foreman_maintain.log :log_dir: '/var/log/foreman-maintain/' # Logger levels: mention one of debug, info, warning, error, fatal # :log_level: 'error'
Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team. Thank you.
Moving to POST as the upstream PR has been merged.
Verified on 6.14 snap 6 foreman-maintain logs default to INFO. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Run `satellite-maintain service status` 2) Check for INFO in the output of /var/log/foreman-maintain/foreman-maintain.log 3) Between runs check the disk usage doesn't increase drastically.
