NetBackup Snapshot Manager pods are not capturing logs in the fluentbit collector

Problem

NetBackup Snapshot Manager pods are not capturing logs in the fluentbit collector.

Error Message

N/A

Cause

This was seen on an environment not using the default namespace name of "netbackup." 

• In this case the namespace name was "netbackup-namespace" and the fluentbits was trying to capture logs from the "netbackup" namespace.

Example of the nbfluentbitdaemonsetconf configmap:

# kubectl -n netbackup-namespace describe cm nbfluentbitdaemonsetconf
...
[INPUT]
    Name                        tail
    Path                        /var/log/containers/*_netbackup_*.log,/var/log/containers/*_netbackup-operator-system_*.log,
    Path_Key                    path
...

• Note that "netbackup" in bold above is the name of the namespace.
• If "netbackup" is not the namespace, then the namespace name will need to be corrected.

Solution

In this example, the namespace name is "netbackup-namespace" so update the Path variable above to the folllowing:

• /var/log/containers/*_netbackup_*.log,/var/log/containers/*_netbackup-operator-system_*.log,/var/log/containers/*_netbackup-namespace_*.log,

This can be done by editing the configmap:

• $ kubectl -n netbackup-namespace edit cm nbfluentbitdaemonsetconf
