Description From 2007-04-10 17:03:28 
The syslog messages being emitted by the globus-gatekeeper have an incorrect
format.  Typical syslog messages have the form:

<timestamp> <hostname> <service> ...

We are receiving messages from GRAM that look like:

Apr 10 16:48:05 GRAM gatekeeper[28862]:
/afs/atlas.umich.edu/OSG060/globus/sbin/globus-gatekeeper pid=28862 starting at
Tue Apr 10 16:48:05 2007

Note the missing <hostname>

This causes problems for our syslog-ng logging (messages appear to come from
host "GRAM").  You can see for yourself by acessing the URL ("guest"/"guest")

Is this a known problem?  How best to debug it?

Thanks,

Shawn McKee

This sounds more like an enhancement request as opposed to something to debug.

I think the print statement in the gatekeeper code would need to add the
hostname to it.  Is that something you could do and test and then give us a
patch?

Thanks,
Stu

Hi Stu,

Since you write to syslog and all other services/applications that write
to syslog include the host it seems to be a bug to me.

Can you point me to the source?  I have only an stock OSG 0.6.0 install
based upon VDT 1.6.1 with no available source.  Where are the syslog
writes?

Shawn

FYI the previous OSG 0.4.1 had gram working correctly when reporting to
syslog.  Here is an example of when it worked:

Apr 10 16:47:17 gate01 GRAM gatekeeper[26814]: Authorized as local user:
usatlas3
Apr 10 16:47:17 gate01 GRAM gatekeeper[26814]: Authorized as local uid:
789090
Apr 10 16:47:17 gate01 GRAM gatekeeper[26814]:           and local gid:
55670
Apr 10 16:47:17 gate01 GRAM gatekeeper[26808]: Requested service:
jobmanager-condor

The hostname was there in the prior version...yesterday we cut-over to
OSG 0.6.0 and then noticed GRAM was reporting to syslog differently.

Thanks,

Shawn

I just did some CVS archaeology. While I didn't do a definitive scan, 
I'm pretty sure that the syslog output from the globus_gatekeeper has 
never has the date, time, or host in it: that's only been the file output.

Has something changed in your syslog configuration?

Thanks Alain,

I will do some more exploring on our system.  We may have had an update
of syslog-ng via yum-autoupdate (for example).

It is strange that only GRAM seems to have the problem. The 'gridinfo'
service on the gatekeeper (and all other services writing to syslog)
works fine (host is present in the syslog messages).

I will let everyone know what I find out.

Subject: RE:  GRAM (pre-webservices) from OSG 0.6.0 (VDT  1.6.1) has bad syslog
format

OK...Mystery solved.

The syslog-ng conf file was changed about the time we cut-over to OSG
0.6.0.

The following thread describes the issue with a similar example:
https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2002-January/002886.html 

The "TAG" part for the GRAM messages is "GRAM gatekeeper[<n>]"

The RFC3164 is apparently somewhat ambiguous.  When there is a space in
the TAG syslog or syslog-ng will assume the first part is the hostname.
There is a configuration option in syslog-ng "keep-hostname" which was
turned on.  This causes "GRAM" to become the hostname for these
messages.  I have turned it back off for out gatekeeper and now the
correct host is inserted by syslog-ng based upon the origin of the
syslog message.

Sorry for the confusion...I had assumed this was controlled by the
syslog callout in the application.

Doing some bugzilla cleanup...  Resolving old GRAM3 and GRAM4 issues that are
no longer relevant since we've moved on to GRAM5.  Also, we're now tracking
issue in jira.  Any new issues should be added here:
