overcloud-controller-2 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Issue
- The overcloud-controller-2 reports low disk space. We tried to collect the sosreport but disk usage increased, and following error appeared in
/var/log/messages
:
Jan 20 03:14:01 overcloud-controller-2 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
- It looks like logrotation is no longer working and disk space is never released:
[root@overcloud-controller-2 log]# du -sh * | grep G
11G ceph
57G cinder
3.7G cluster
15G httpd
4.1G journal
26G keystone
170G messages <<<
65G neutron <<<
16G nova
1.9G pcsd
78G rabbitmq <<<
1.8G secure
6.2G swift
- We confirmed the logrotate is enabled:
[root@overcloud-controller-2 log]# ps -ef | egrep "logrotate|crond"
root 4505 1 0 2018 ? 00:25:38 /usr/sbin/crond -n
root 930425 893730 0 23:16 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -E --color=auto logrotate|crond
- We freed up the disk space usage for now, but we would like to confirm why the logrotate process stopped working.
