[nailgun] diagnostic snapshot should have /var/log/remote

[Matthew Mosesohn]

When we get /var/log/ from Fuel Master, it skips the symlink /var/log/remote -> /var/log/docker-logs/remote. Normally tar preserves any symbolic links, so it must be related to how we tell Fuel Master to copy files from Fuel Master host to the mcollective container.

The snapshot system was changed. Now we add to snapshot entire /var/log with simple fabric's get command. It looks like fabric get doesn't resolve symlinks or resolve it in copy manner. Need to investigate.

Anyway, we have full remote content in /var/log/docker-logs/remote, so I don't think it's a high prio.

Dima, it is really hard to fix in 6.1?

[Alexander Bozhenko (alexbozhenko)]

Diagnostic snapshot does include /var/log/remote, but in this path 10.20.0.2:/var/log/docker-logs/remote

Since remote symlink points to full path:
[root@fuel tmp]# ls -la /var/log| grep remote
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 4 06:59 remote -> /var/log/docker-logs/remote

It will point to wrong place on the node where you will untar the archive, so I propose to mark the bug as invalid.

And we already have a bug about not clear content of the snapshot:
