Barbican API uses uWSGI, which by default writes out log files using
0640 permissions and default ownership for the user. This means that the
log file in /var/log/kolla/barbican/barbican-api.log is not readable by
fluentd.
This was tested via the following command on a queens deployment:
$ docker exec -it fluentd bash
find /var/log/kolla/ -type f | while read f; do test -r $f || echo
"Cannot read $f"; done
Cannot read /var/log/kolla/barbican/barbican-api.log
Generally there are a few ways in which access is provided to log file
for fluentd:
1. Set log file ownership to $USER:kolla, permissions to 0640.
2. Set log file ownership to $USER:$USER, permissions to 0644.
3. MariaDB is a special case, and uses 0640 with the fluentd user added
to the mysql group.
Of these, 1. seems the most secure.
This change uses the --logfile-chmod argument to set the log file
permissions to 644, since it does not appear possible to specify a group
to change ownership to using --logfile-chown. We use command line
arguments since putting the option in the config file does not seem to
work. Perhaps it is an ordering issue.
