Issue/Introduction

After following the configuration steps found in Aria Operations for Logs, which are found at:

<FQDN>/log-sources/containers#item=1

you will consistently see the error:

 Warning  Failed     17s (x2 over 40s)  kubelet            Error: ImagePullBackOff

 

Environment

RedHat OpenShift Kubernetes Environment version 4.6 and above

Aria Operations for Logs 8.18.x. 

 

Cause

Fluentd is an open source data collector for unified logging layer. It collects all the logs from the configured sources, processes/transforms them and then redirects them to appropriate endpoints.

Operations for Logs supports fluentd built-in http format natively. There's nothing specific that should be done in order to have fluentd send logs to Operations for Logs server other than setting the endpoint of HTTP plugin to <fqdn>/api/v2/events.

Resolution


Issue may be resolved the issue by using this updated image:

Fluentd 2.3.0

For greater detail, find information in the Aria Operations for Logs UI > Log Sources > Containers > Openshift Kubernetes.
