        We are trying to start up a CentOS OpsTools SIG
        https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup for logging,
        monitoring, etc.

    It almost seems to me that this is actually a meta SIG in a
    sense. I would almost expect there to be a SIG for each sub topic
    here.

    So we should have a logging SIG, a monitoring SIG, etc.?


I believe so. I'm not completely against them living in an OpsTools SIG, I just worry about OpsTools focusing on one type of logging and/or monitoring framework and then a competing SIG coming along that would address others.

Well, for logging, we will be initially focusing on fluentd, rsyslog, elasticsearch, and kibana, since these are the most popular, and are already used today by OpenShift Origin and RDO. If someone wants to support logstash, I wouldn't be against that. Would/does this overlap with any existing SIGs?

        The intention is that this would be the upstream for
        development and packaging of tools related to logging (EFK
        stack, etc.), monitoring, and other opstools, as a single
        place where packages can be consumed by OpenShift Origin,
        RDO, and other upstream projects that use CentOS - pool our
        resources, share the lessons learned, and enable cross
        project log aggregation and correlation (e.g. running
        OpenShift on top of OpenStack on top of Ceph/Gluster - do my
OpenShift application errors correlate with Nova errors? file system errors?).

    I definitely love the concept, I just want to make sure that we
    don't duplicate effort being done by the existing SIGs or end up
    with conflicting efforts.

        This would also be a place for installers (puppet manifests,
        ansible playbooks), and possibly testing/CI and containers.

    So, for OpenShift we already have the PaaS SIG that will cover
    installation and testing/CI. The Cloud SIG covers this for
    OpenStack as well.

    What about testing/CI for running OpenShift with an integrated EFK
    stack?  Would that be covered by the PaaS SIG?  Same with Cloud
    SIG, running OpenStack with an EFK stack for logging.


I believe we would want to extend that into the PaaS SIG (I can't really speak to the Cloud SIG), since logging and metrics are an integral part of the complete OpenShift platform. Obviously we need to do work towards the automated deployment of those platforms, but I would fully intend that testing and CI coverage include the deployed logging and metrics components. Shipping containers would also have to be tied in closely with the PaaS SIG, since platform versions are tied to versions of the integrated containers as well.

Can we use the Pass SIG testing/CI framework for testing OpenShift Origin with the EFK stack from origin-aggregated-logging? We are looking for an upstream home for that testing. We are currently using ci.openshift.redhat.com for logging testing: https://ci.openshift.redhat.com/jenkins/job/test-origin-aggregated-logging/249/




    There is also potentially overlap with the ConfigManagement SIG
    here as well.

        It is intended that this will form the basis of
        https://github.com/openshift/origin-aggregated-logging which
        will be built from the packages and base images provided by
        the SIG.

        If you are interested, please chime in in the email thread:
