6303 - Image replication log never shows process finished

[MRCUR]

Rev 6303 - Looking at the image replication log, I see entries for each image but there is a never a “Sync complete” entry or any indication if all of the images have synced successfully. This was previously logged in older revisions, but does not seem to be the case in 6303. Or if there is an error happening, I don’t see that being logged either. The log stays like it shows below until the next run of replication which results in the same output with updated timestamps.

Here’s some material I think is sort of relevant:

But yes I agree, a message such as “sync complete for Image: abcdef123” or similar would be nice.

[Tom Elliott]

This is because all items are sent at the same time. Synchronously getting the status is simply not feasible.

However, there is a log that shows the transfer for each node it is transferred to.

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Is this a change from how it was done previously? I remember seeing success messages in the log, but maybe I’m completely making that up.

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR it is indeed a change. This was needed because of how the replication occurs. While I could get the complete status, I figured using a separate log per each node would allow much more accurate information.

[Wayne Workman]

Ah I remember now. And yes, Replication is much cleaned up now compared to before - and handled a whole lot better.

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Is there a different place than Settings - Log Viewer to access each node’s log? I assume when I’m looking at that page it’s for the master node.

[Wayne Workman]

@MRCUR look in /opt/fog/log or logs or something like that. Bunch of service logs in there.

[MRCUR]

@Wayne-Workman I see the log in there that’s being shown through the GUI, along with one that has “transfer.HS Node” (the name of my other node) in the name, but it’s blank.

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR I have added the transfer logs to the log viewer.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you!
