Ironic pod logs

TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW

Implemented the possibility to collect logs of the syslog container that runs in the Ironic pod on the bare metal bootstrap, management, and managed clusters.

You can collect Ironic pod logs using the standard Container Cloud container-cloud collect logs command. The output is located in /objects/namespaced/<namespaceName>/core/pods/<ironicPodId>/syslog.log. To simplify operations with logs, the syslog container generates output in the JSON format.

Note

Logs collected by the syslog container during the bootstrap phase are not transferred to the management cluster during pivoting. These logs are located in /volume/log/ironic/ansible_conductor.log inside the Ironic pod.

LoadBalancer and ProviderInstance monitoring for cluster and machine statuses

Improved monitoring of the cluster and machine live statuses in the Container Cloud web UI:

  • Added the LoadBalancer and ProviderInstance fields.

  • Added the providerInstanceState field for an AWS machine status that includes the AWS VM ID, state, and readiness. The analogous fields instanceState and instanceID are deprecated as of Container Cloud 2.8.0 and will be removed in one of the following releases. For details, see Deprecation notes.

Updated notification about outdated cluster version in web UI

Updated the notification about outdated cluster version in the Container Cloud web UI. Now, you will be notified about any outdated managed cluster that must be updated to unblock the upgrade of the management cluster and Container Cloud to the latest version.

Caution

Make sure to update the Cluster release version of your managed cluster before the current Cluster release version becomes unsupported by a new Container Cloud release version. Otherwise, Container Cloud stops auto-upgrade and eventually Container Cloud itself becomes unsupported.
