Bug ID: 1853217
Summary: Review Request: ServiceReport - a tool to validate and
repair system configuration for specific purposes
Product: Fedora
Version: 32
Hardware: ppc64le
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Assignee: nob...@fedoraproject.org
Reporter: sourabhj...@linux.ibm.com
QA Contact: extras...@fedoraproject.org
CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org
Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Our observation from Enterprise Linux testing and customer issues in the recent
past has been that most customers have challenges in setting up their Linux
systems for First Failure Data Capture(FFDC). In some cases, log gathering
packages aren't installed, in some, the requisite daemons for the platform are
neither installed nor configured properly. The most apparent problem is the
incorrect configuration of kdump/fadump, where insufficient memory reservation
causes OOM and therefore a failure in capturing the dump.
To alleviate these issues, we have come up with a python plugin-based framework
called ServiceReport. This tool is integrated with Systemd to run on boot.
ServiceReport runs in two modes: validate and repair. By default, ServiceReport
runs in the validate mode - depending on the platform it is run on, it will
determine what necessary packages and daemons are needed for log collection and
normal system run. It will then check if those are installed and configured to
run as needed. If it isn't, ServiceReport will log errors into syslog and on
the console so that the sysadmin can take necessary action.
In the repair phase, subject to the system configured to reach the appropriate
repositories, ServiceReport will fix issues found in the validate phase. It
will also tweak the boot commandline and refresh the bootloader settings for a
successful dump, trigger distro specified steps for regenerating the initramfs,
etc. ServiceReport also provides a convenient dummy trigger to test the dump
configuration.
