hi,
today there was another outage on ovirt.org (not sure how was it fixed yet), afaik only
dneary knows how to handle such outages?
can we have a txt file on the normal place on resources.ovirt.org with info on:
- who to contact for openshift support/outage
- commands needed for fixing/debugging issues
- known issues/previous issues that were fixed + solution.
thoughts/ideas?
Eyal.

Hi,
Not only me, I hope!
ovirt.org runs on OpenShift, and is constantly in a race against a 5GB
disk quota. Most of the disk quota is taken up with an ibdata1 file from
mysql (3.5GB and counting), the rest is user uploads, access & error
logs, git repo & mediawiki source code.
I'm working on putting some kind of early warning system in place to let
us know when we hit 90% of our disk quota - but we need to figure out
how to stop that index file growing so big, how to process our httpd
logs and get them off the host, and/or how to increase our disk quota on
OpenShift.
The disk filled up at the same time as another application on the same
node had very high disk I/O and load, which caused the restarting f our
application to fail, the database didn't come back up correctly. A
second restart was what fixed it, but I didn't do that immediately
because I did not know what had caused the failure and didn't want to
risk data corruption.
The access I have is an SSH access (I shared my SSH key with Karsten,
and could then git clone, push, and ssh to the application node). As of
this week, OpenShift apps support teams, so Karsten will be able to add
a number of us to be maintainers of the app, and we will also have usage
of the rhc command line tools.
The contacts on the OpenShift team are #openshift on freenode, or the
OpenShift forum.
Karsten, does that look complete?
Thanks,
Dave.

I'm still missing real commands/actions on what to do in an outage.
examples:
1. how to login and server name
2. where is our app is located (to those who are not familiar with openshift)
3. how to check if disk is full, and ideas on fixing it - (e.g which logs to delete)
4. email/irc contact for support from openshift
if you can share this info on the email, i can copy it to a txt file and locate on linode
for time you're not availalbe and ovirt.org is down.
thanks,
Eyal.
Thanks,
Dave.

IIRC Rydekull and I already have our keys there. Last time I used it,
there were some actions that need the password though (such as using the
RHC tool to easily restart).

I'm still missing real commands/actions on what to do in an outage.
examples:
1. how to login and server name
It's easiest to just use www.ovirt.org, which is a CNAME to
wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com. I'm sure the username is now in the usual place.
2. where is our app is located (to those who are not familiar with
openshift)
Not sure what you exactly mean. Physically? Which directory?
You should know openshift does a lot through environment variables. For
example, there's $OPENSHIFT_PHP_LOG_DIR which points to the apache logs,
$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR which points to the persistent data, such as our
mediawiki image uploads or $OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_LOG_DIR for the mysql
logs. env is a very useful command on openshift.
3. how to check if disk is full, and ideas on fixing it - (e.g which
logs to delete)
Disk is limited by standard quotas:
[wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com 847edb45aea84198838f915be6faa066]\> quota -s
Disk quotas for user 847edb45aea84198838f915be6faa066 (uid 3689):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/mapper/EBSStore01-user_home01
4911M 0 5120M 9571 0 200k
It seems currently most space is used by our database (3.5G) and as you
might know, mysql innodb storage is never returned. Even if you purge
all tables, the ibdata file can't shrink. That doesn't have to be bad,
but something to be aware of.
4. email/irc contact for support from openshift
On what kind of plan are we? If free, I think the support is mostly best
effort on #openshift and https://www.openshift.com/forums/openshift.

i think that info is great for starts, i added it as
'troubleshooting_infra_issues.txt',
under HOWTOS dir in the normal place on linode.
this is important, cause once the wiki is down, we need an alternate place for DRP
procedures.
so if you think on other issues we might need to put there, please update the file.
Eyal.

The username is something long and complicated, and you'll need to get
it from the git remote for the wiki sources.

The git repo, and the standard OpenShift workflow, is what I meant.

Yes - painfully aware of it :-( No real solution either.

I'm not sure, but I think we were bumped to Silver.

I don't have access - and yes, Karsten will need public SSH keys for
everyone. I guess they're in the wiki already. To add people to a group,
people will also need OpenShift usernames.
I'm still missing real commands/actions on what to do in an
outage.
examples:
1. how to login and server name
In the app, the git repo to use is generated and used.
[dneary@leitrim wiki]$ git remote -v
origin
ssh://847edb45aea84198838f915be6faa066@wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com/~/git/wiki.git
(fetch)
origin
ssh://847edb45aea84198838f915be6faa066@wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com/~/git/wiki.git
(push)
To connect, once your public SSH key is there, you can just ssh to
uuid(a)wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com
2. where is our app is located (to those who are not familiar with
openshift)
It's on OpenShift :-)
It's at wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com - that means the app name is wiki, the
username is ovirt. I think the password for it may be in the passwords
file and any of us can go in & add SSH keys & add users to the team.
3. how to check if disk is full, and ideas on fixing it - (e.g which
logs to delete)
Right now, I don't think we should delete logs. The access logs are the
est source of web analytics we have. I'm looking at setting up Piwik for
the wiki, it's pretty straightforward, which will reduce the need from
now on, but I don't want to lose our access logs just yet.
The main issue is that we have a 5GB quota and a 3.5GB database index
file. Deleting logs is not going to win us much time. We need to
automate logfile compression, which addresses things short term.
4. email/irc contact for support from openshift
I have been asking on #openshift on FreeNode, and/or #libra-ops
internally on Red Hat IRC. The "proper" support channel is the OpenShift
forum or the IRC channel.
if you can share this info on the email, i can copy it to a txt file
and locate on linode
for time you're not availalbe and ovirt.org is down.
Hope that helps!
Dave.
