Description Bryn M. Reeves 2012-10-18 10:23:02 UTC

Description of problem:
The rhui-debug.py script is intended to be called from sosreport to gather rhui-specific diagnostic data from systems.

The current version collects the /var/log/httpd directory:

Copying contents of directory [/var/log/httpd/] to [/tmp/rhui-debug-2012-08-03-T11-26-40/var/log/httpd/]

This duplicates the functionality of the sos httpd module - this will automatically collect these logs when the package is installed meaning that we will have two copies of a potentially large directory in the resulting archive.

We should remove this in a future update to ensure to keep the tarball size down to a minimum.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "python /usr/share/rh-rhua/rhui-debug.py"
2. Note paths collected
  
Actual results:
Paths include /var/log/httpd

Expected results:
Paths only include rhui-specific files

    867803 - removing collection of files under /var/log/httpd from rhui-debug script since sosreport collects it by default when httpd is installed

Comment 2 Todd Sanders 2012-10-19 11:19:58 UTC

Moving over to 2.1.1, so we pick this up during the planned release cycle.
