Hey, the ovirt-engine runs ansible playbooks and uses the ansible-runner project, what happens is that if you have a lot of tasks the artifacts of ansible-runner fills up the disk space of the ovirt-engine. They are located in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner There's a config in /etc/ansible-runner-service that controls the artifacts rotation, for some reason it does not kick in, in general there's a way to manually run the ansible-runner and let it rotate the artifacts, i want to understand how to do this without messing up the ovirt-engine.

I think the only thing out-of-the-box that should clean these logs is logrotate, for which we indeed supply a conf file. Does logrotate run on your system? Should run daily by default, by cron. The configuration was changed recently, see also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1941507 Best regards, -- Didi

Hey, No, i am talking about the ansible-runner artifacts, when the ovirt-engine runs a playbook (which is a task in the webui for example), it creates a folder in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner/artifacts for each run. There's a config.yml in /etc/ansible-runner-service but for some reason it does not affect anything. Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't have /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner/artifacts on my engine machine. Which version do you use? Perhaps file a bug in bugzilla and attach a sosreport.

Periodic artifact clean up has been added to ansible-runner-service 1.0.6: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner-service/releases But I highly recommend to upgrade to the latest version 1.0.7

What do you mean by that? Did you try changing it and saw that this does not affect it at all? Or a specific setting? Something else?

Hey, I was wrong with the path. [root@ovirthe artifacts]# pwd /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project/artifacts [root@ovirthe artifacts]# ls | wc -l 1851 [root@ovirthe artifacts]# du -hs . 2.5G . [root@ovirthe artifacts]# What is the best way to run ansible-runner and let it clean the artifacts?

Thank you all. Answering myself.

cd /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project ansible-runner --rotate-artifacts 20 --artifact-dir /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project/artifacts -m ping --hosts all[0] run /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project

This will run the "ping" module on the first host, it will fail because i did not provide any private key but it will cleanup artifacts and will leave only 20 of them.

Solved :)

Thanks for the report! Martin, IMO these artifacts should go somewhere under /var . Can't find any EL-specific policy for this right now, but see e.g.: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_2.3/fhs-2.3.html#THEUSRHIERARCHY Thanks and best regards, -- Didi
