- Casablanca release planning - Logging Casablanca Scope
- RequestID:
- Example code in the 1.2 spec (ONAP Application Logging Specification v1.2 (Casablanca)#MDC-RequestID) is out of date. Still refers to X-RequestID, should be X-ONAP-RequestID.
- Agreed to specify all three – past and future – headers for the duration of Casablanca, and standardize on one – X-ONAP-Request-ID after Casablanca release.
- Debated cutover versus supporting all three, and agreed that the impact on existing behavior would be unpalatable for many teams.
- TODO: go back and update specification. (LP: done).
- Casablanca:
- Machine-readable format:
- Pipe-separated format vs. tab-separated → pipe-separated.
- Original agreement was to revert to pipe-separated as per the Text Output example in the specification. That's the final decision.
- Once provider configuration is templated, we can put the separator in values.yaml,
- Streams transports:
- Options were logstash (native) and syslog.
- If we want to provide one out of the box, it has to be one that doesn't incur new dependencies in the classpath → syslog.
- This still leaves us with the problem of persistent queues at the logstash end.
- Assumption: syslog (since appenders are always available) AND logstash queues for persistence AND the ability to turn off any appender using values.yaml.
- TODO: find out where we are with log4j 1.X. (Since its support is likely limited without extra classes).
- Finalizing the specification:
- But for typos and example code pending update, it's final.
- TODO: X-Request-ID (again)
- Security:
- Files owned by root (elasticsearch, filebeat, logstash).
- Credentials and other sensitive information to K8s secrets.
- General hardening and port closure.
- Search Guard:
- FOSS.
- RBA for log entries.
- AT&T have a sample implementation.
- Templated provider configuration:
- (Helm)
- Submit templated logback configuration for next week.
- TODO: add syslog appender under the control of values.yaml.
- TODO: by next week! (LP: will be the week after, new ETA July 10th.)
- Compliance and backporting:
- Limited developer capacity.
- Options:
- Make changes ourselves → insufficient capacity.
- Raise bugs → obnoxious.
- Rate compliance → compliance matrix. Still requires us to do the analysis.
- Encourage adoption of reference libraries.
- Bring the architecture committee to bear on the problem.
