…

so there are some logs back to 2021-07-18 but then only since the last reboot. Also the entries look weird with the reboot at 03:30 as planned but then another line of "-- Reboot --" before "Aug 15 18:00:01" but uptime says that the machine is up since 18h:53m, that is 03:30 localtime.

Maybe the problem is openqa-webui which spams the logs. On o3 the logs go back way further and /var/log/openqa is configured to take the openQA logs, on osd it's not the case. Created https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/549

/var/log/openqa has logs. The system journal still has a lot of information, e.g. from openqa-websockets-daemon, etc. Maybe I would need to restart these services as well? I will need to check on the next day if the journal persists now a bit longer. I don't think there is a better way than to simply wait hence bumping due-date.

Again there is not much left in the journal:

/var/log/openqa is right now 137M but now the problem seems to be mainly openqa-websockets. systemctl status systemd-journald shows

Aug 19 07:35:30 openqa systemd-journald[14984]: Suppressed 2269 messages from /system.slice/openqa-websockets.service
Aug 19 07:36:00 openqa systemd-journald[14984]: Suppressed 2717 messages from /system.slice/openqa-websockets.service

so I restarted openqa-websockets as well. Looks like now the messages end up in /var/log/openqa as well.

I am not sure if the settings controlled by salt are effective now so to be sure I additionally set the settings for now with vim /etc/systemd/journald.conf and did systemctl restart systemd-journald. Now systemctl status systemd-journald shows System journal (/var/log/journal/84f4f4f356b525388b60f0ae547597e0) is 2.4G, max 23.7G, 21.2G free. But I removed the settings again, only keeping in /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/journal_size.conf and after systemctl restart systemd-journald the command systemctl status systemd-journald shows System journal (/var/log/journal/84f4f4f356b525388b60f0ae547597e0) is 2.4G, max 25.1G, 22.7G free. so that should be fine.
Let's see how this changes over the next days. journalctl --disk-usage says Archived and active journals take up 2.4G in the file system.

As the original problem about I/O alerts seem to be less severe by now I will follow up with this with low prio.

As of now the latest in systemctl status systemd-journald is still

Aug 20 11:59:21 openqa systemd-journald[8460]: System journal (/var/log/journal/84f4f4f356b525388b60f0ae547597e0) is 2.0G, max 22.5G, 20.4G free.

so looks good. journalctl --disk-usage reports 1.3G. journalctl goes back to Aug 19. I want to wait over the next automatic reboots if this still works, then revert the openQA log target and check again.

osd was rebooted 4 days ago. journal size is reported to take 1.2G, systemctl status systemd-journald says "Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.", not that helpful. journalctl says

…

so there are still some entries from July 18 but then only after August 31 though the last reboot was August 29? Restarted "systemd-journald" again and status says "System journal (/var/log/journal/84f4f4f356b525388b60f0ae547597e0) is 1.2G, max 21.1G, 19.8G free"

So it does not look like the 20G would really be used.

Regardless of this I see that vsftpd plays a big part in filling the logs, e.g. entry blocks like

showing both a lot of download status messages as well as kernel reports about "vsftpd: page allocation failure" and kernel stack traces. Couldn't find anything useful for the kernel stack trace in a web search.

Maybe making the vsftpd logs less noisy can help?: https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/571

Taking look right now I see that the journal goes back only 3 days so again and still a problem. journalctl -u systemd-journald says

Sep 23 20:14:26 openqa systemd-journald[23151]: System journal (/var/log/journal/84f4f4f356b525388b60f0ae547597e0) is 1.2G, max 19.4G, 18.1G free.

so we do not use the available space at all. What's going on? I don't know. I suspected that maybe some other process using the same filesystem, e.g. postgreSQL, would use more space temporarily so that journalctl erroneously deletes too much but according to the man page of systemd-journald it does not behave like that and also looking at https://monitor.qa.suse.de/d/WebuiDb/webui-summary?viewPanel=74&orgId=1&from=now-7d&to=now I don't see that we would have peaks in bigger space usage.

There is rotation, the retention is configured to store max 80G. Hm, maybe the many user sessions cause the max files number in combination with size per rotated archive file to exceed?

All of the above still does not seem to work. Now the journal got truncated again to just 2 days worth of history. Trying to increase number of rotated files now: https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/598

Also temporarily I disabled logging of vsftpd to the system journal with syslog_enable=NO in /etc/vsftpd.conf

Archived and active journals take up 1.8G in the file system.

yes, that part seems to work. I would like to wait further until we see at least 2GiB of used space exceeded. Then we can slowly move back services from extra log files to systemd-journal

I reported https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192748 about the kernel stack trace from vsftpd.

Next to that I see many lines like

Nov 16 12:57:01 openqa cron[29088]: pam_unix(crond:session): session opened for user geekotest by (uid=0)
Nov 16 12:57:01 openqa cron[29089]: pam_unix(crond:session): session opened for user geekotest by (uid=0)
Nov 16 12:57:02 openqa CRON[29088]: pam_unix(crond:session): session closed for user geekotest
Nov 16 12:57:09 openqa CRON[29089]: pam_unix(crond:session): session closed for user geekotest

a solution might be in
https://languor.us/cron-pam-unix-cron-session-session-opened-closed-user-root-uid0
but I have not followed up with this so far.

So currently journalctl goes back until 2021-10-11 so more than a month. That's good.

systemctl restart systemd-journald ; systemctl status systemd-journald says "System journal (/var/log/journal/84f4f4f356b525388b60f0ae547597e0) is 1.5G, max 46.7G, 45.1G free." so it's not using that much space. But I also wonder if it shouldn't use more space by now.

We previously had a daily logrotation for openQA logs, now we are currently using hourly log rotation with up to 20 archives stored meaning we are only storing openQA logs up to 21h, not longer.

Proposing to re-enable openQA logs in system journal with

sudo journalctl -f right now still shows a lot of verbose messages, e.g. about artifact storing:

  • Find more too verbose messages and move them to trace -> #105064
  • Revisit compression settings for systemd journal. File based logging seemed to be more efficient
  • Distributed logging to save where we have more space. Maybe just the archiving or logging for historical data to different storage partitions or different computers
  • Move logs or journal to different filesystem
  • Ask for more space for that partition

Your SR isn't effective because a GitLab issue prevented the deployment pipeline to run. I retried the pipeline now: https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/pipelines/301693

(There's already #105145 about the GitLab issue.)

The change is deployed but still has no effect. I tried systemctl restart systemd-journald, maybe that helps.

Agreed. Logging period is not forever but certainly longer than a week hence AC1 fulfilled

There was another filesystem alert. I've been vaccuuming the journal again on OSD. Likely I should have restarted the journal service last time I did that so the free disk space is actually recognized and SystemKeepFree=20% has an effect. When we see this alert again restarting didn't help and we need to take care of it, possibly as part of https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/96551.

Now we're somehow only at 46 %, see https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/d/WebuiDb/webui-summary?tab=alert&viewPanel=74. Maybe reducing the logging verbosity helped that much?

Clarified in the Weekly. Space was doubled as well 😉️

Actions #29

Correct. Currently on OSD sudo journalctl -u openqa-webui goes back to 2022-01-22 so only 7 days as of today which I think is not that much. I would like to wait a bit longer to see how we make use of the more available space and if it's enough to store the system journal for a little bit more than just a straight week.

It's effective on OSD. We still have some rather verbose messages but the journal still goes back to 2022-01-23 so I guess we are ok for now.
