phosphor-logging

phosphor logging provides mechanism for common event and logging creation based on information from the journal log.

To Build

To build this package, do the following steps:

    1. ./bootstrap.sh
    2. ./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
    3. make

To clean the repository run `./bootstrap.sh clean`.

Remote Logging via Rsyslog

The BMC has the ability to stream out local logs (that go to the systemd journal) via rsyslog (https://www.rsyslog.com/).

The BMC will send everything. Any kind of filtering and appropriate storage will have to be managed on the rsyslog server. Various examples are available on the internet. Here are few pointers : https://www.rsyslog.com/storing-and-forwarding-remote-messages/ https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/rsyslog%255Fconf%255Ffilter.html https://www.thegeekdiary.com/understanding-rsyslog-filter-options/

Configuring rsyslog server for remote logging

The BMC is an rsyslog client. To stream out logs, it needs to talk to an rsyslog server, to which there's connectivity over a network. REST API can be used to set the remote server's IP address and port number.

The following presumes a user has logged on to the BMC (see https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/rest-api.md).

Set the IP:

curl -b cjar -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT \
    -d '{"data": <IP address>}' \
    https://<BMC IP address>/xyz/openbmc_project/logging/config/remote/attr/Address

Set the port:

curl -b cjar -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT \
    -d '{"data": <port number>}' \
    https://<BMC IP address>/xyz/openbmc_project/logging/config/remote/attr/Port

Querying the current configuration

curl -b cjar -k \
    https://<BMC IP address>/xyz/openbmc_project/logging/config/remote

Setting the hostname

Rsyslog can store logs separately for each host. For this reason, it's useful to provide a unique hostname to each managed BMC. Here's how that can be done via a REST API :

curl -b cjar -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT \
    -d '{"data": "myHostName"}' \
    https://<BMC IP address>//xyz/openbmc_project/network/config/attr/HostName

Disabling remote logging

Remote logging can be disabled by writing 0 to the port, or an empty string("") to the IP.

Changing the rsyslog server

When switching to a new server from an existing one (i.e the address, or port, or both change), it is recommended to disable the existing configuration first.

Adding application specific error YAML

  • This document captures steps for adding application specific error YAML files and generating local elog-errors.hpp header file for application use.
  • Should cater for continuous integration (CI) build, bitbake image build, and local repository build.

Continuous Integration (CI) build

  • Make is called on the repository that is modified.
  • Dependent packages are pulled based on the dependency list specified in the configure.ac script.

Recipe build

  • Native recipes copy error YAML files to shared location.
  • phosphor-logging builds elog-errors.hpp by parsing the error YAML files from the shared location.

Local repository build

  • Copies local error YAML files to the shared location in SDK
  • Make generates elog-errors.hpp by parsing the error YAML files from the shared location.

Makefile changes

Reference

Export error YAML to shared location

Modify Makefile.am to export newly added error YAML to shared location

yamldir = ${datadir}/phosphor-dbus-yaml/yaml
nobase_yaml_DATA = \
    org/open_power/Host.errors.yaml
Generate elog-errors.hpp using elog parser from SDK location
  • Add a conditional check "GEN_ERRORS"
  • Disable the check for recipe bitbake image build
  • Enable it for local repository build
  • If "GEN_ERRORS" is enabled, build generates elog-errors.hpp header file.
  # Generate phosphor-logging/elog-errors.hpp
  if GEN_ERRORS
  ELOG_MAKO ?= elog-gen-template.mako.hpp
  ELOG_DIR ?= ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}${datadir}/phosphor-logging/elog
  ELOG_GEN_DIR ?= ${ELOG_DIR}/tools/
  ELOG_MAKO_DIR ?= ${ELOG_DIR}/tools/phosphor-logging/templates/
  YAML_DIR ?= ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}${datadir}/phosphor-dbus-yaml/yaml
  phosphor-logging/elog-errors.hpp:
      @mkdir -p ${YAML_DIR}/org/open_power/
      @cp ${top_srcdir}/org/open_power/Host.errors.yaml \
        ${YAML_DIR}/org/open_power/Host.errors.yaml
      @mkdir -p `dirname $@`
      @chmod 777 $(ELOG_GEN_DIR)/elog-gen.py
      $(AM_V_at)$(PYTHON) $(ELOG_GEN_DIR)/elog-gen.py -y ${YAML_DIR} \
        -t ${ELOG_MAKO_DIR} -m ${ELOG_MAKO} -o $@
  endif
Update BUILT_SOURCES
  • Append elog-errors.hpp to BUILT_SOURCES list and put it in conditional check GEN_ERRORS so that the elog-errors.hpp is generated only during local repository build.
    if GEN_ERRORS
    nobase_nodist_include_HEADERS += \
                phosphor-logging/elog-errors.hpp
    endif
    if GEN_ERRORS
    BUILT_SOURCES += phosphor-logging/elog-errors.hpp
    endif
Conditional check for native build
  • As the same Makefile is used both for recipe image build and native recipe build, add a conditional to ensure that only installation of error yaml files happens during native build. It is not required to build repository during native build.
   if !INSTALL_ERROR_YAML
   endif

Autotools changes

Reference

Add option(argument) to enable/disable installing error yaml file
  • Install error yaml option(argument) is enabled for native recipe build and disabled for bitbake build.

  • When install error yaml option is disabled do not check for target specific packages in autotools configure script.

Add option(argument) to install error yaml files
AC_ARG_ENABLE([install_error_yaml],
    AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-install_error_yaml],
    [Enable installing error yaml file]),[], [install_error_yaml=no])
AM_CONDITIONAL([INSTALL_ERROR_YAML],
    [test "x$enable_install_error_yaml" = "xyes"])
AS_IF([test "x$enable_install_error_yaml" != "xyes"], [
..
..
])
Add option(argument) to enable/disable generating elog-errors header file
AC_ARG_ENABLE([gen_errors],
    AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-gen_errors], [Enable elog-errors.hpp generation ]),
    [],[gen_errors=yes])
AM_CONDITIONAL([GEN_ERRORS], [test "x$enable_gen_errors" != "xno"])

Recipe changes

Reference

Extend recipe for native and nativesdk
  • Extend the recipe for native and native SDK builds
BBCLASSEXTEND += "native nativesdk"
Remove dependencies for native and native SDK build
  • Native recipe caters only for copying error yaml files to shared location.
  • For native and native SDK build remove dependency on packages that recipe build depends
Remove dependency on phosphor-logging for native build
DEPENDS_remove_class-native = "phosphor-logging"
Remove dependency on phosphor-logging for native SDK build
DEPENDS_remove_class-nativesdk = "phosphor-logging"
Add install_error_yaml argument during native build
  • Add package config to enable/disable install_error_yaml feature.
Add package config to enable/disable install_error_yaml feature
PACKAGECONFIG ??= "install_error_yaml"
PACKAGECONFIG[install_error_yaml] = " \
        --enable-install_error_yaml, \
        --disable-install_error_yaml, ,\
        "
Enable install_error_yaml check for native build
PACKAGECONFIG_add_class-native = "install_error_yaml"
PACKAGECONFIG_add_class-nativesdk = "install_error_yaml"
Disable install_error_yaml during target build
PACKAGECONFIG_remove_class-target = "install_error_yaml"
Disable generating elog-errors.hpp for bitbake build
  • Disable gen_errors argument for bitbake image build as the application uses the elog-errors.hpp generated by phosphor-logging
  • Argument is enabled by default for local repository build in the configure script of the local repository.
 XTRA_OECONF += "--disable-gen_errors"

Local build

  • During local build use --prefix=/usr for the configure script.
