    • VERIFIED
    • Hide
      Before this update, the collector was collecting its own logs due to a refactoring of the component name change. This could lead to a potential feed-back loop of the collector processing its own log that might result in memory and log message size issues. This update excludes collector logs from collection, resolving the issue.

    • Logging (Core) - Sprint 208

      Description:
      The damonset had been renamed to collector in 5.x, the exclude_path should be updated accordingly.

      $cat fluent.conf
      @type tail
      @id container-input
      path "/var/log/containers/*.log"
      exclude_path ["/var/log/containers/fluentd-*_openshift-logging_*.log", "/var/log/containers/elasticsearch-*_openshift-logging_*.log", "/var/log/containers/kibana-*_openshift-logging_*.log"]
      pos_file "/var/lib/fluentd/pos/es-containers.log.pos"

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Deploy logging 5.3
      2. oc extract cm/collector --confirm; cat fluent.conf |grep -A 5 container-input

      Expected result:

      exclude_path ["/var/log/containers/collector-*_openshift-logging_*.log", "/var/log/containers/elasticsearch-*_openshift-logging_*.log", "/var/log/containers/kibana-*_openshift-logging_*.log"]
