RHBA-2019:3018 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The ovirt-engine-metrics package is used to collect and enrich metrics and logs from the Red Hat Virtualization Manager, hosts, and virtual machines. It includes Ansible scripts that configure Collectd and Fluentd on the Red Hat Virtualization Manager and hosts. It also stores remote metrics parameters.

Changes to the ovirt-engine-metrics component:

• Previously, when you used the oVirt config files to edit the libvirt.conf config file, running 'systemctl status collectd' failed to collect metrics data, instead displaying errors such as the following:

collectd[38874]: write_syslog plugin: wr_callback_init failed.
collectd[38874]: write_syslog plugin: error with wr_send_message

When upgrading the collectd package, libvirt.conf is automatically regenerated if it is missing. So now this bug is fixed by replacing libvirt.conf with the following message:

'included in 20-builtins-conf-for-ovirt.conf' (BZ#1717954)
