I've got this on fuel-master-438-2014-08-14_19-21-57.iso

dnsmasq logs are missed on master node withing cobbler container and outside it.
It looks like messages doesn't come to syslog because dnsmasq configration looks good.

Could you please clarify the severity of this issue, i.e. how does it affect usability, UX, operations, etc. If it's just forgotten log file, I don't think it should we a High priority and be part of the counter for HCF criteria.

[Vladimir Kuklin (vkuklin)]

It looks like this bug severity is not high as it does not affect deployment and the functionality of cluster.

I can confirm we're missing these logs because rsyslog does not run on the Cobbler container. We have two options to solve this: one is to run dnsmasq with --log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log. The other is to run rsyslog daemon in a custom mode and reroute logs to the rsyslog container. It's a little tricky because there will be collision in the /var/log/messages file. I prefer we just log directly to a file and allow Cobbler to be more autonomous as it is now.

    Direct dnsmasq logs to file for Cobbler

    Since rsyslog does not run in Cobbler
    docker container, its logs should be
    directed to a file.
