Demistifying Certificate Generation using Ansible in Openshift

Image
Background Ansible is the only available tools to manage deployment Openshift Origin Clusters, now known OKD. Some pitfalls were identified when the author tried to redeploy certificate in an Origin 3.6 cluster. Logging Issues We were trying to do some troubleshooting using the kibana-ops logging console, and were surprised to find it not working. Quick check on the logging project shows that many of the pods have warning status. Checking these pods (mostly elasticsearch instances) we found that the the health check script results in 'Elasticsearch node is not ready to accept HTTP requests yet' with http response code 000. The pods were at 90% storage, which I think caused by the curator unable to connect to the elastic instances (The curator is supposed to clean old index data files so the disk won't fill up).  Further investigation results the curl command (adapted from this syntax from the chapter Aggregating Container Logs - Performing Administrative Elasticsearch Oper...

SE Linux Cure (mini mini post)

I think its only natural for admins to avoid SELinux. Having SELinux enabled can make your simplest changes resulting in system failures. Or maybe even no change at all (no changes that you remember..). The Cure In the past, I depend upon a few commands that might shed some light on SELinux troubles. The commands are : ls -Z : this parameter shows additional column, named the security context, that is owned by each file chcon : this command changes a file's context to the given context argument. Example, chcon -t mysqld_db_t mysql - this command sets the security context of the mysql directory to mysqld_db_t restorecon : this command restores a file's context to default But a recent trouble opened my mind that more tools are needed. For example, in Ubuntu systems, we might need to poke the directory /etc/apparmor.d and edit rule files there. In recent CentOS trouble, these commands are handy : yum install setroubleshoot - this installs sealert, semanage tools ...

Tidak bisa buka popup window di IE6

Hari ini revisit ke suatu masalah yang mungkin umum terjadi.. Yaitu instalasi Internet Explorer yang ngadat. Dulu waktu kami mroyek di Merpati, pernah kejadian seperti ini, dan kalau tidak salah kami solve dengan mengupdate service pack Windows di semua komputer OP (Planning). Tapi hari ini seorang temanku yang lain mengalami masalah yang agak berbeda, service pack nya sudah maximum, dan setelah mengalami trouble dengan IE 7 ia melakukan uninstall. Ternyata setelah uninstall, Internet Explorer (yang kini versi 6) masih ngadat. Ia tidak mau membuka pop up window, bahkan yang dicoding tanpa JavaScript sekalipun (just a simple A HREF="_BLANK" dst..). Kemudian aku googling dan menemukan orang dengan masalah serupa . Meskipun masalah sebenarnya berbeda, tetapi orang ini sudah menulis semua langkah-langkah yang ia lakukan untuk meresolve masalah ini (dan gagal). Langkah terakhirnya (menginstall ulang Autodesk Trueview 2009), sama sekali tidak generik, dan tidak relevan untuk kasus...
