785239 - deploy logrotate script and config file to push JSON logs to HDFS on sync stage servers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Server: Sync, defect)

Description

[Victor Ng [:vng] [:crankycoder]]

Attachment: sample sync_metrics_hdfs.ini file

We need to push a logrotate script and a configuration file to each of the sync webheads in staging.

This will push our /var/log/syncweb/metrics_hdfs.log file out to the Hadoop cluster.

The sync_metrics_hdfs.ini config file will need to have a template applied to modify the DST_FNAME value so that it includes the sync webhead hostname in the filename.  This will ensure that multiple webheads do not have colliding filenames when they push to the HDFS cluster.

Attachment: sample logrotate script

the postrotate block contains a config parameter that points to the sync_metrics_hdfs.ini file that was attached earlier in this bug
