ovirt-log-collector bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ovirt-log-collector packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

[RFE] Log collector should collect time diff for all hosts

[RFE] remove dot from the ovirt-log-collector generated file

ovirt-log-collector should use /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/apache-ca.pem instead of /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem

Changes to the ovirt-log-collector component:

• Previously, data was collected from all hosts in a cluster, which created an output file that was too large to handle. In this release, the hypervisor-per-cluster option enables you to collect data from a single host (the Storage Pool Manager, if available) per cluster. (BZ#1490447)
  
• The ovirt-log-collector tool has been changed to add the ipmitool plugin to the list of plugins executed by sosreport on the hosts. The collected data now includes hardware details provided by ipmitool. (BZ#870884)
  
• When collecting SOS reports from hosts, chrony and systemd SOS plugins can now collect information about time synchronization. In addition, a new --time-only option has been added to ovirt-log-collector, allowing information about time differences to be gathered from the hosts without gathering full SOS reports, saving a considerable amount of time for the operation. (BZ#1404509)
  
• The list command (ovirt-log-collector list) now correctly lists hosts. (BZ#1546288)
  
• Ovirt-log-collector now uses /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/apache-ca.pem as the default certificate authority. This prevents errors when the certificate authority is changed. (BZ#1445245)
