4.6. Using remote health reporting in a restricted network

Procedure

1. Create a file named gather-job.yaml using this template:

   apiVersion: batch/v1
   kind: Job
   metadata:
     name: insights-operator-job
     annotations:
       config.openshift.io/inject-proxy: insights-operator
   spec:
     backoffLimit: 6
     ttlSecondsAfterFinished: 600
     template:
       spec:
         restartPolicy: OnFailure
         serviceAccountName: operator
         nodeSelector:
           beta.kubernetes.io/os: linux
           node-role.kubernetes.io/master: ""
         tolerations:
         - effect: NoSchedule
           key: node-role.kubernetes.io/master
           operator: Exists
         - effect: NoExecute
           key: node.kubernetes.io/unreachable
           operator: Exists
           tolerationSeconds: 900
         - effect: NoExecute
           key: node.kubernetes.io/not-ready
           operator: Exists
           tolerationSeconds: 900
         volumes:
         - name: snapshots
           emptyDir: {}
         - name: service-ca-bundle
           configMap:
             name: service-ca-bundle
             optional: true
         initContainers:
         - name: insights-operator
           image: quay.io/openshift/origin-insights-operator:latest
           terminationMessagePolicy: FallbackToLogsOnError
           volumeMounts:
           - name: snapshots
             mountPath: /var/lib/insights-operator
           - name: service-ca-bundle
             mountPath: /var/run/configmaps/service-ca-bundle
             readOnly: true
           ports:
           - containerPort: 8443
             name: https
           resources:
             requests:
               cpu: 10m
               memory: 70Mi
           args:
           - gather
           - -v=4
           - --config=/etc/insights-operator/server.yaml
         containers:
           - name: sleepy
             image: quay.io/openshift/origin-base:latest
             args:
               - /bin/sh
               - -c
               - sleep 10m
             volumeMounts: [{name: snapshots, mountPath: /var/lib/insights-operator}]

2. Copy your insights-operator image version:

   $ oc get -n openshift-insights deployment insights-operator -o yaml

   Example output

   apiVersion: apps/v1
   kind: Deployment
   metadata:
     name: insights-operator
     namespace: openshift-insights
   # ...
   spec:
     template:
   # ...
       spec:
         containers:
         - args:
   # ...
           image: registry.ci.openshift.org/ocp/4.15-2023-10-12-212500@sha256:a0aa581400805ad0...
   # ...

   The spec.template.spec.containers.image field specifies your insights-operator image version.

3. Paste your image version in gather-job.yaml:

   apiVersion: batch/v1
   kind: Job
   metadata:
     name: insights-operator-job
   # ...
   spec:
   # ...
     template:
       spec:
       initContainers:
       - name: insights-operator
         image: image: registry.ci.openshift.org/ocp/4.15-2023-10-12-212500@sha256:a0aa581400805ad0...
         terminationMessagePolicy: FallbackToLogsOnError
         volumeMounts:

   where, spec.template.initContainers.image

   Replace any existing value with your insights-operator image version.

4. Create the gather job:

   $ oc apply -n openshift-insights -f gather-job.yaml

5. Find the name of the job pod:

   $ oc describe -n openshift-insights job/insights-operator-job

   Example output

   Name:             insights-operator-job
   Namespace:        openshift-insights
   # ...
   Events:
     Type    Reason            Age    From            Message
     ----    ------            ----   ----            -------
     Normal  SuccessfulCreate  7m18s  job-controller  Created pod: insights-operator-job-<your_job>

   where

   insights-operator-job-<your_job> is the name of the pod.

6. Verify that the operation has finished:

   $ oc logs -n openshift-insights insights-operator-job-<your_job> insights-operator

   Example output

   I0407 11:55:38.192084       1 diskrecorder.go:34] Wrote 108 records to disk in 33ms

7. Save the created archive:

   $ oc cp openshift-insights/insights-operator-job-<your_job>:/var/lib/insights-operator ./insights-data

8. Clean up the job:

   $ oc delete -n openshift-insights job insights-operator-job
