Hi, We've been working for some time[1] to retire our current static log server in favor of storing Zuul job logs in Swift. We're just about ready to do that. This means that not only do we get to use another great OpenStack project, but we also can stop worrying about fscking our 14TB log partition whenever it gets hit with a comsic ray. The change will happen in two phases, only the first of which should be readily apparent. Phase 1: On Monday August 12, 2019 we will change the URL that Zuul reports back to Gerrit. Instead of being a direct link to the log server, it will be a link to the Zuul Build page for the job. This is part of Zuul's web interface which has been around for a while, but isn't well known since we haven't linked to it yet. The build page shows a summary of information about the build, including output snippets for failed tasks. Next to the "Summary" tab, you'll find the "Logs" tab. This contains an expandable index of all the log files uploaded for the build. If they are text files, they can be rendered in-app with line-number hyperlinks and severity filtering. There are also direct links to the files on the log server. Links to preview sites (e.g., for docs builds) will show up in the "Artifacts" section. We also plan to further enhance the build page with additional features. Here are some links to sample build pages so you can see what it's like: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/a6e13a8098fc4a1fbff43d8f2c27ad29 https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/75d1e8d4ffaf477db00520d7bfd77246 This step is necessary because our static log server implements a number of features as WSGI middleware in Apache. We have re-implemented the these on the Zuul build page, so there should be no loss in functionality (in fact, we think this is an improvement). Once in place, we can change the backend storage options without impacting the user interface. Phase 2: Shortly afterwards (depending on how phase 1 goes), we will configure jobs to upload logs to Swift instead of the static log server. At this point, there should be no user-visible change, since the main interface for interacting with logs is now the Zuul build page. However, you may notice that log urls have changed from our static log server to one of six different Swift instances. The Swift instance used to store the logs for any given build is chosen at random from among our providers, and is yet another really cool multi-cloud feature we get by using OpenStack. Thanks to our amazing providers and all of the folks who have helped with this effort over the years[1]. Please let us know if you have any questions or encounter any issues, either here, or in #openstack-infra on IRC. -Jim [1] Years. So. Many. Years.
