An extra command required to setup proper access

[Saurabh Srivastava]

The command:
usermod -a -G ceilometer swift

adds swift to the ceilometer group. However, the default access settings for the /var/log/ceilometer directory is 740, which will still not allow swift to add any files to the folder, and hence, on restarting the swift-proxy, the process won't start. We need an extra command to setup the proper access:
chmod 770 /var/log/ceilometer

I cannot reproduce this issue with Liberty on Ubuntu. The swift-proxy process does not seem to access the /var/log/ceilometer directory.

Perhaps this bug only applies to Juno and therefore the patch needs to specifically address that version?

[Saurabh Srivastava (ssri-cse)]

Please check the URL on which I have reported the same:
http://docs.openstack.org/juno/install-guide/install/apt/content/ceilometer-swift.html
<http://docs.openstack.org/juno/install-guide/install/apt/content/ceilometer-swift.html>
It is reported for Juno only. I have no idea about other versions.

    Providing permission for swift to access ceilometer group

    The default access setting for the /var/log/ceilometer,
    directory is 740, which will not allow swift to add files
    to that folder and hence swift-proxy will not restart.
