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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Debug messages no longer logged to /var/log/messages by default Previously, the `ipa-dnskeysyncd` and `ipa-ods-exporter` daemons logged all debug messages to `/var/log/messages` by default, resulting in log files growing substantially. If required, you can now configure the debug log level by setting `debug=True` in the `/etc/ipa/dns.conf` file. For more information refer to the `default.conf(5)` man page.

Description Tomasz Kepczynski 2022-02-28 22:42:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

I've just noticed that my /var/log/messages log file grew for nearly 1G withing las t week or so (since last rotation).

Most of the messages were produced by ipa-dnskeysyncd and vast majority of them where tagged with "DEBUG" clearly indicating them as debug messages.

rsyslog configuration DOES NOT route ANY debug level messages to any of the files.

This is the line for the /var/log/messages:

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                /var/log/messages

The excerpt of the messages:

How reproducible:
Not sure. I think there is a reason for these but I haven't pinpointed it yet. And it is not relevant to this issue. See below.



Actual results:
The debug level messages ARE flooding the files which are not configured to collect them.



Expected results:
The debug level messages ARE NOT flooding the files which are not configured to collect them.

Additional info:
I believe this is caused by incorrect logging configuration in the ipa-dnskeysyncd process. It probably is sending debug messages with the higher level than LOG_DEBUG designated for debug logging. I suspect it incorrectly uses LOG_INFO for debugging logs.

There is additional issue with the above messages. They seem to be logging information about SUCCESSFULL operation. I am not sure how useful it is. Please reconsider and drop it.

Disclosure:
Found on AlmaLinux 8.5.
Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2022-03-09 14:16:34 UTC 
debug is hardcoded as True.

I believe this can be resolved by finalizing the IPA API first and using api.env.debug instead. This would allow a user to create /etc/ipa/dns.conf to enable debugging if additional troubleshooting is needed.
