Hi all,
I'm following up from ticket #226, which is tracking improvements to the log analyzer system. This would be what analyzers the logs on lockbox, which is the syslog host for infrastructure machines: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/226
I wanted to capture what we wanted the new analyzer to do. Main feedback I had from discussion in #fedora-admin was a need for more signal, less noise: the current 'analyzed' logs were too verbose and had too much cruft.
Did I capture that requirement?
I think this is the biggest thing. Obviously we don't want to /dev/null log lines but at the same time the current format is pretty useless to us. I guess it might be best to do as much cleanup as possible and then see where things are.
Actually, there's a huge portion of what is in the current logs that needs to either:
- be dumped out by epylog's weeder
- be stopped from occurring on the system generating the message.
Michael, if you need any assistance with this, let me know, I have a fair bit of experience adding weedlists to epylog.
2) would be more favored by me where possible.
