Minutes
- Icinga Alerts (Crwilliams)
- SUSU / MEM (Leth)
- Is it possible to upgrade syslog-ng?
- morse/Davetaz happy for Leth to do this
- Actually don't upgrade because libc needs upgrading that will require all binaries to be updated which is really not a good idea.
- SUSU / Disk /tmp/ (Leth)
- commit-log has been cleared after copy made to auth
- AUTH/AUTH
- Not sure what is failing yet
- AUTH/EAPOL-EDUROAM
- We need to add checks over PEAP that will be provided by mike
- Need to investigate how many protocols are actually supported by eduroam
- All Homenode tunnels outage - OpenVPN (SSL) (Davetaz/daveruss)
- Updating openvpn package broke all the tunnels
- Problem caused by temporary client config files not been able to write to disk because of permissions
- We were using a debug flag that we shouldn't be using
- Reduced run level of OpenVPN from 3 to 2
- Specified temp directory as /tmp so that openvpn can write to disk as nobody
- Andrew_W said we need to update our wiki pages on OpenVPN top reflect these customisations
- MONITOR/DISK / - Database issues?
- Leth setup manual logrotate of syslog-ng
- AUTH/DISK / - Database issues?
- Davetaz moved all the mysql binary logs to the /home partition in /home/large_directories/
- We need to change the config for mysql so that it doesn't make binary logs as we don't need them
- Look at the mysql logging and see if we can find a way of tidying this up on the nightly backups
- GW/DISK /
- Leth probably gzipped some stuff
- Some log files could probably be cleared out
- Nagios was running on GW, just logging itself without telling anyone. This has been stopped but needs to be removed and its log files cleared up
- 32/3089-UPS - remove from Icinga?
- Davetaz happy for this to be removed
- Reporting will be made directly to email and irc
- crwilliams reckons we should log the data in icinga but not monitor or warn
- MONITOR/DEBSUMS
- Timing out so timeout increased.
- Taking too long, needs to be investigated.
- MONITOR/check_nsca* (Leth)
- Has been flapping. Leth has now fixed both of these.
- PACKAGE warnings not reported in the channel
- crwilliams is not sure why this is happening.
- SUSU / MEM (Leth)
- Cron emails (Leth)
- Forwarding - Not enabled on GW. Other servers?
- Davetaz will add the relay config for mail on the other servers as he has got the config sitting around

- Full of files that need to be investigated/deleted to stop email being sent out

- daveruss couldn't get eduroam working from Oxford connecting to soton.ac.uk and test.soton.ac.uk (and ecs.soton.ac.uk)
