In the Techpreview cluster, after patching the dataReporting.storagePath in the IO config(configmap), then restarting IO to trigger the periodic gathering, the relevant gathering would fail to gather, and the relevant pod would exit with Error.

Step to reproduce:

1. Patching the IO conf as below:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  config.yaml: |
    dataReporting:
      storagePath: /test
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: insights-config
  namespace: openshift-insights

2. Configuring nothing on InsightsDataGather CRD(Garuateen its spec field is {}){}

3. Restarting IO to trigger periodic gathering.

4. View the periodic gathering job and pod status.

5. Check if the Insights archive path is changed to the storagePath.

Expected Results:

4. The periodic gathering job and pod status should be running, then completed.

5. The Insights archive path is changed to the storagePath.

Actual Results:

4. The periodic gathering job failed to gather and the pod exited with Error.

Remark:

This is the error log from the periodic pod:
