Description

While executing tests on 17.1.0-203-g2c8d01fc, I see the ceph.log files on all MONs are zero length unless rotated.

To me it looks like after log rotation, logging in the cluster logs stops? I can see the same in the Gibba cluster.

  • Project changed from RADOS to Orchestrator
  • Category set to cephadm

we found out that quincy has https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/40640 log_to_journald feature. When we set

ceph config set global mon_cluster_log_to_journald false

It fixes the issue and ceph.log, ceph.audit.log logging starts working. So we have a workaround for now but we should still verify why for cluster logs this journald option needs to be disabled

We think this log_to_journald feature should go to quincy Release Notes to avoid confusion for end-users.

Neha noticed today that in the LRC cluster after having this workaround still, this cluster when went through a log rotation window again cluster logs(ceph.log) have stopped updating. See following no ceph.log file.

- Then I verified the same in the gibba cluster and it has the similar issue after having the given workaround in place here also ceph.log is not updating after the log rotation window.

- Then just for verification I just did a rm of the workaround option to see if it fixes the issue. And it did fix the issue, it looks like the behavior we see here is very much directly related to this option - mon_cluster_log_to_journald and this journald_log feature came with this PR - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/40640.

- Making changes to this workaround option(set and rm of this option) fixes the issue in all the mons, as can be seen in gibba002 also.

This workaround is useful but may need a corn job, as it needs daily change after log rotation. The issue needs more investigation, why it is causing an issue, and why this option change is helping it.

- Just for completeness as expected this issue again happed today in gibba cluster during the log rotation window and changing the option mon_cluster_log_to_journald fixed the issue.

I suspect this issue is due to https://github.com/ceph/ceph/commit/7c84e06e6f846f6b4b6fd959218b4d474520f429 and have nothing to do with the journald feature.

The above commit keeps an fd to the log file and does not reopen it when logs are rotated. Toggling 'mon_cluster_log_to_journald' just triggers the `log_external_close_fds()` to be called as an side effect, which cause mon to reopen the log file.

Could you try changing some other options like `mon_cluster_log_to_syslog`, and see if it can also fix the issue?

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, when I had done a git diff b/w pacific and quincy I was also on these changes but could not figure out that this is the exact fix.

Yes, looks like it is exactly the case.

as you were suspecting the following test confirms it!

Even setting the same default value triggers the call.

Maybe we should fix the release note(https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/quincy/) first? The workaround there is incorrect.

Should be something like:

https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55383 is a known issue - to continue to log cluster log messages to file, run `ceph config set mon mon_cluster_log_to_file true` after every log rotation.

Maybe we should fix the release note(https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/quincy/) first? The workaround there is incorrect.

Should be something like:

https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55383 is a known issue - to continue to log cluster log messages to file, run `ceph config set mon mon_cluster_log_to_file true` after every log rotation.

Thanks, completely agree, https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/46128, done!
