Viewing ARA logs
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
What is ARA?
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
[ARA](https://ara.recordsansible.org/) is an ansible plugin that collects a
|
|
large amount of execution information and can render it into a browser
|
|
friendly format.
|
|
|
|
kolla-Ansible CI enabled the plugin and logged the sqlite output into the log
|
|
directory next to this file.
|
|
|
|
How do I view the output?
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
You need a local installation of ARA: following the
|
|
[getting started guide](https://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html)
|
|
should help you with installing the `ara-manage` command.
|
|
|
|
For small scale operations, you have a choice between using:
|
|
* [a small embedded server](https://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#ara-manage-runserver), or
|
|
* [rendering the html to static files](https://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#ara-manage-generate)
|
|
|
|
For example, rendering a particular log to static html pages:
|
|
```
|
|
# (Use the "Download all logs" script from the Artifacts tab with DOWNLOAD_DIR=~/zuul-logs)
|
|
python3 -m pip install --user "ara[server]=={{ ara_version.stdout.split(' ') | last }}"
|
|
export ARA_DATABASE_NAME=~/zuul-logs/{{ inventory_hostname }}/ara-report/ansible.sqlite
|
|
ara-manage generate ~/zuul-logs/{{ inventory_hostname }}/ara-report/ara-html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Can I get the CI to generate the HTML for me?
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Yes! If the commit message contains the string `#ara_verbose` then Zuul will
|
|
render the html file and collect it in the logs. Beware: this adds hundreds of
|
|
MiB to the log files. (Tip: the `#` shouldn't be the first character in the
|
|
line)
