Handling Logfiles OpenLDAP

Valid FOSS-Cloud Versions

This patch should be implemented on

• FOSS-Cloud 1.3.0
• FOSS-Cloud 1.3.1

Within FOSS-Cloud 1.3.2, the patch is integrated

Overview

Dynamic machines are generating a lot of information which are stored in log files on /var/lib/openldap-hdb/foss-cloud/log.0000000001 to log.0000000xxx. Each log file has arround 10MB. If there is some missconfiguration in LDAP, slapd is generating some 100 files the day. As FOSS-Cloud is storing a backup of your LDAP in /var/backup/ldap every day, old backup files in /var/lib/openldap-hdb/foss-cloud/ are useless, but without the active archive file, usually the file with the highest number, OpenLDAP will not continue to work.

Solution

Add a cron job to delete only the inactive archive log files.

root # echo "*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/db4.8_archive -a -h /var/lib/openldap-hdb/foss-cloud/ | xargs rm -v" >> /etc/cron.d/log-backup

Rename the file

root # mv /etc/cron.d/log-backup /etc/cron.d/fc-log-maintenance

Restart the cron daemon

root # service dcron restart

Multinode Environment

On a multinode environment repead this steps on the secondary master node.

Overflow folder /var

Valid FOSS-Cloud Versions

This patch should be implemented on

• FOSS-Cloud 1.2.20
• FOSS-Cloud 1.3.0

Within FOSS-Cloud 1.3.1, the patch is integrated

Overview

The directory / var is 3 GB in size. The reason for the overflow is, that in some log files are growing to fast, for example if a virtual machine is in a undefined state. The patch fc-patch-var-log is checking all log files and will backup them to /var/backup if they become more than 50MB.

Installation

Please login via ssh in to the node as root and follow the instructions below.

Get the patch

root # wget http://www.foss-cloud.org/download/patch/fc-patch-var-log/fc-patch-var-log

Set permissions

root # chmod 755 fc-patch-var-log

Install the patch

root # ./fc-patch-var-log

Remove the installation file

root # rm fc-patch-var-log

Repeat this installation on all nodes, including storage nodes.

Files

• /etc/cron.d/log-backup
