[Bug 1599810] Re: Correct hostname not displayed in syslog after boot
OK, maybe I was too quick on this one. Just did a test with ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20161013 in GCE. To reproduce, simply boot up a machine from that image and look at the /var/log/syslog. The hostname in the log says "ubuntu" instead of the real machine hostname. Sending a testlog with "logger testlog1" gives me this line in /var/log/syslog: Oct 18 08:20:22 ubuntu igottwald: testlog 1 After that I do a "sudo pkill -HUP rsyslogd" and write another testlog with "logger testlog 2", then I see in /var/log/syslog: Oct 18 08:26:32 test-ig1 igottwald: testlog 2 test-ig1 is the correct hostname. Same is true if you build images with packer on-top of this image. The resulting images start with a hostname in the log which looks like "packer-bc6a04da-56ea-4982-aed6-664877993834" since this is the method of packer choosing random hostnames during image build. Again once the rsyslogd is HUPed or restarted, the correct hostname is back again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599810 Title: Correct hostname not displayed in syslog after boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1599810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1599810] Re: Correct hostname not displayed in syslog after boot
I originally saw this in /var/log/syslog of all my GCE machines that were built on-top of ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20160610 and older. See also this bug-report: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/issues/290 I'm now running machines off the image ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20160907a where I can't reproduce the problem any more. ** Bug watch added: github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/issues #290 https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/issues/290 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599810 Title: Correct hostname not displayed in syslog after boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1599810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1599810] Re: Correct hostname not displayed in syslog after boot
Can you explain where you see this ? Just in /var/log.cloud-init.log or elsewhere ? Its interesting because at the momemnt i'm leaning towards making cloud-init not log through rsyslog unless instructed to. https://code.launchpad.net/~harlowja/cloud-init/+git/cloud- init/+merge/301729 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599810 Title: Correct hostname not displayed in syslog after boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1599810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've marked this as affecting cloud-init; I'd be interested to hear smoser's opinion on how he thinks this would best be fixed.
