Chapter 102. Collecting IdM Healthcheck information

Procedure

1. Enable a systemd timer:

   # systemctl enable ipa-healthcheck.timer
   Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ipa-healthcheck.timer -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/ipa-healthcheck.timer.

   Copy to Clipboard

2. Start the systemd timer:

   # systemctl start ipa-healthcheck.timer

   Copy to Clipboard

3. Open the /etc/logrotate.d/ipahealthcheck file to configure the number of logs you want to be saved:

   [...]
       rotate 30
   }

   Copy to Clipboard

   By default, logs are stored for 30 days before they are overwritten by newer logs.

4. In the same file, configure the path to the file storing the logs.

   /var/log/ipa/healthcheck/healthcheck.log {
   [...]

   Copy to Clipboard

   By default, logs are saved in the /var/log/ipa/healthcheck/ directory.

5. In the same file, configure at what time you want logs to be generated. By default, a log is created daily at 4 a.m.
6. Save the file.

7. Ensure that the crond service is enabled and running:

   # systemctl enable crond
   # systemctl start crond

   Copy to Clipboard

8. To start generating logs, start the IdM healthcheck service:

   # systemctl start ipa-healthcheck

   Copy to Clipboard

Verification

2. Add options output_type=human and all=True to the [default] section.
3. Save and close the file.
