Now the service no longer starts immediately,
check if the config we generated makes sense as soon as possible.
The check isn't perfect because logrotate --debug wants to check
users required, there are two problems:
- /etc/passwd and /etc/group are sandboxed and we don't have
visibility of system users
- the check phase runs as nixbld which cannot su to other users
and logrotate fails on this
Until these two problems can be addressed, users-related checks
are filtered out, it's still much better than no check.
The check can be disabled with services.logrotate.checkConfig
if required
(bird also has a preCheck param, to prepare the environment
before check, but we can add it if it becomes necessary)
Since this makes for very verbose builds, we only show errors:
There is no way to control log level, but logrotate hardcodes
'error:' at common log level, so we can use grep, taking care
to keep error codes
Some manual tests:
───────┬──────────────────────────────────────────
│ File: valid-config.conf
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ missingok
───────┴──────────────────────────────────────────
logrotate --debug ok
grep ok
───────┬──────────────────────────────────────────
│ File: postrotate-no-end.conf
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ missingok
2 │ /file {
3 │ postrotate
4 │ test
5 │ }
───────┴──────────────────────────────────────────
error: postrotate-no-end.conf:prerotate, postrotate or preremove without endscript
───────┬──────────────────────────────────────────
│ File: missing-file.conf
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ "test" { daily }
───────┴──────────────────────────────────────────
error: stat of test failed: No such file or directory
───────┬──────────────────────────────────────────
│ File: unknown-option.conf
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ some syntax error
───────┴──────────────────────────────────────────
logrotate --debug ok
error: unknown-option.conf:1 unknown option 'some' -- ignoring line
───────┬──────────────────────────────────────────
│ File: unknown-user.conf
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ su notauser notagroup
───────┴──────────────────────────────────────────
error: unknown-user.conf:1 unknown user 'notauser'
In particular note that logrotate would not error on unknown option
(it just ignores the line) but this change makes the check fail.
using freeform is the new standard way of using modules and should replace
extraConfig.
In particular, this will allow us to place a condition on mails
having pkgs.logrotate depend on mailutils brings in quite a bit of dependencies
through mailutil itself and recursive dependency to guile when most people
do not need it.
Remove mailutils dependency from the package, and conditionally add it to the
service if the user specify the mail option either at top level or in a path
Fixes#162001
logrotate.timer is enough for rotating logs. Enabling logrotate.service would
make the service start on every configuration switch, leading to tests failure when
logrotate is enabled.
Also update test to make sure the timer is active and runs the service
on date change.
logrotate global options only affect rules following them - as such,
services.logrotate.extraConfig being added last makes the option only
useful for adding new paths but not for setting global options (e.g.
'dateext' so all logs are rotate with a date suffix).
Moving this first solves this problem, and we can then use this instead
of default paths config to append missingok/notifempty.
wtmp and btmp are created by systemd, so the rules are more appropriate there.
They can be disabled explicitly with something like
services.ogrotate.paths = {
"/var/log/btmp".enable = false;
"/var/log/wtmp".enable = false;
};
if required.
* elk7: 7.11.1 -> 7.16.1
* nixosTests.elk: Improve reliability and compatibility with ELK 7.x
- Use comparisons in jq instead of grepping
- Match for `.hits.total.value` if version >= 7, otherwise it always
passes
- Make curl fail if requests fails
* nixos/filebeat: Add initial module and test
Filebeat is an open source file harvester, mostly used to fetch logs
files and feed them into logstash.
This module can be used instead of journalbeat if used with
`filebeat7` and configured with the `journald` input.
* python3Packages.parsedmarc.tests: Fix breakage
- Don't use the deprecated elasticsearch7-oss package
- Improve jq query robustness and add tracing
* rl-2205: Note the addition of the filebeat service
* elk6: 6.8.3 -> 6.8.21
The latest version includes a fix for CVE-2021-44228.
* nixos/journalbeat: Add a loose dependency on elasticsearch
Avoid unnecssary back-off when elasticsearch is running on the same
host.
On reboots and shutdowns promtail blocks for at least 90 seconds,
because it would still try to deliver log messages for loki, which isn't
possible when the network has already gone down.
Upstreams example unit also uses a ten seconds timeout, something which
has worked pretty well for me as well.
Since the upstream graylogctl script will prefer finding its java
executable based on JAVA_HOME, we now set this instead of PATH in
order to allow it to find the JRE. By setting it conditionally on it
not already being set, we allow selecting a different JRE at runtime.
We also explicitly use openjdk11, which supports the
UseConcMarkSweepGC option which graylog insists on using.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
