Description

Following #2427, new logs are created and they go to the file:/var/log/rudder/webapp-opslog/rudder-webapp.log

That have to be changed to : /var/log/rudder/core/rudder-webapp.log

See http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/2427#note-10 for more details.

The ticket owner should also check that the directory "core" is created if it does not exists already (I believe it's the case).

Ooops, wrong issue. The last commit (0c703a7a2e55d509dca2068f50e023b27d68cacb) was a fix for #2800 .

This looks like the kind of change that requires a migration in packaging... Does anyone know if this has been done?

You're right Jon, something needs to be done at migration.

Current migration script overwrites user's logback.xml. So he loses everything he has modified before update (logging level).

We should check if file was modified.
if not replace it with new logback.xml.
Else we should keep the user logback.xml and check if property "OPSLOG_DIR" and appender "OPSLOG" exists

Property "OPSLOG_DIR":

  <property name="OPSLOG_DIR" value="/var/log/rudder/core" />

if value has been modified we should keep it

Appender "OPSLOG":

  <appender name="OPSLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
    <file>${OPSLOG_DIR}/rudder-webapp.log</file>
    <append>true</append>
    <encoder>
      <pattern>%d{MMM dd HH:mm:ss} ${HOSTNAME} rudder[%logger]: [%level] %msg%n$
    </encoder>
  </appender>

This needs a migration implemented in packaging:
  1. Ensure new destination exists
  2. Move old log files to new destination
  3. Update config file to contain the new path

Note: it seems that the logback.xml file is not properly considered a config file... This should be a separate bug if it is true (I haven't checked).

Nicolas, can you deal with this please?

Ok, i will make a migration script for this.

logback.xml wasn't considered as a config file so I have opened an issue: #2857

How to deal with a partially migrated logs ?
Exemple: If the logback.xml has been replaced (since this file was not a config file until recently and that the change has been made for beta4) but the log files in /var/log/rudder/webapp-opslog were not moved.

I've seen this bug: #2872 which result in the replacement of the logrotate and then the impossibility to logrotate logs in /var/log/rudder/webapp-opslog.

Should archive all the logs in a tgz (like old-var_log_rudder_webapp-opslog.tgz)and move it to /var/log/rudder/core/ folder ?

The action to do was only to move all the files from webapp-opslog to core and add them a suffix.
