526 Log server and clients (ansible_init)

Use case 

Use the iocage template ansible_init created in 524 iocage template ansible_init (hostname). Configure the repo ansible-conf-init to pull the jails’ configuration from the repos ansible-conf-syslogng-server and ansible-conf-syslogng-client. Create jails from the template. Use class=log-server and class=log-client to select the configuration. Run ansible-pull asynchronously.

Synopsis 

At a managed node:
- In the playbook vbotka.freebsd.pb_iocage_project_create_from_templates.yml create jails from the template. ansible_init.
- Wait for ansible-pull to configure the jails and display the logs.

Hint

Use the utility lnav on the log server to display all logfiles in the the directory /var/log/remote

shell > lnav -r /var/log/remote/

Troubleshooting 

See the Ansible logs /var/log/ansible.log in the jails.
Update and pull the repositories. For example,

root@log-server:~ # cd /root/ansible-conf-init/
root@log-server:~/ansible-conf-init # git pull
Already up to date.
root@log-server: # cd /root/ansible-conf-syslogng-server/
root@log-server:~/ansible-conf-syslogng-server # git pull
Already up to date.

Start the service ansible_init

root@log-server:~ # service ansible_init start
Service ansible_init started.
