Topic
An updated rhevm-log-collector package that fixes several bugs is now available.
Description
The rhevm-log-collector utility allows users to easily collect log files
from all systems in their Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Each log collection overwrote the existing log-collector log file. This made
debugging issues difficult, especially when multiple attempts were executed.
Now, log messages are written into timestamped files by default, preventing the
overwrite of existing files. The default location of the logs has been changed
from /var/log/ovirt-engine to /var/log/ovirt-engine/ovirt-log-collector. In
addition, a log rotation was introduced to compress old logs. (BZ#1009116)
- The openssh-clients package was missing on a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager system installed using the minimal-installation option. As the
rhevm-log-collector utility has a dependency on the openssh-clients package, it
could not collect logs from hypervisors when openssh-clients was absent. This
update adds the dependency to the installation spec file, so openssh-clients is
installed together with the Manager, and the log-collector can gather hosts
sosreports. (BZ#1015757)
All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager users should install this
update which includes this fix.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
