Updating OpenShift logging

Supported Versions

For version compatibility and support information, see Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy

To upgrade from cluster logging in OpenShift Container Platform version 4.6 and earlier to OpenShift logging 5.x, you update the OpenShift Container Platform cluster to version 4.7 or 4.8. Then, you update the following operators:

  • From Elasticsearch Operator 4.x to OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator 5.x

  • From Cluster logging Operator 4.x to Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator 5.x

To upgrade from a previous version of OpenShift logging to the current version, you update OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator and Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator to their current versions.

Updating logging to the current version

To update logging to the current version, you change the subscriptions for the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator and Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator.

You must update the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator before you update the Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator. You must also update both Operators to the same version.

If you update the Operators in the wrong order, Kibana does not update and the Kibana custom resource (CR) is not created. To work around this problem, you delete the Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator pod. When the Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator pod redeploys, it creates the Kibana CR and Kibana becomes available again.

Prerequisites
Procedure

  1. Update the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator:

    1. From the web console, click Operators → Installed Operators.

    2. Select the openshift-Operators-redhat project.

    3. Click the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator.

    4. Click Subscription → Channel.

    5. In the Change Subscription Update Channel window, select stable-5.x and click Save.

    6. Wait for a few seconds, then click Operators → Installed Operators.

    7. Verify that the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator version is 5.x.x.

    8. Wait for the Status field to report Succeeded.

  2. Update the Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator:

    1. From the web console, click Operators → Installed Operators.

    2. Select the openshift-logging project.

    3. Click the Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator.

    4. Click Subscription → Channel.

    5. In the Change Subscription Update Channel window, select stable-5.x and click Save.

    6. Wait for a few seconds, then click Operators → Installed Operators.

    7. Verify that the Red Hat OpenShift logging Operator version is 5.y.z

    8. Wait for the Status field to report Succeeded.

  3. Check the logging components:

    1. Ensure that all Elasticsearch pods are in the Ready status:

      $ oc get pod -n openshift-logging --selector component=elasticsearch
      Example output
      NAME                                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
elasticsearch-cdm-1pbrl44l-1-55b7546f4c-mshhk   2/2     Running   0          31m
elasticsearch-cdm-1pbrl44l-2-5c6d87589f-gx5hk   2/2     Running   0          30m
elasticsearch-cdm-1pbrl44l-3-88df5d47-m45jc     2/2     Running   0          29m

    2. Ensure that the Elasticsearch cluster is healthy:

      $ oc exec -n openshift-logging -c elasticsearch elasticsearch-cdm-1pbrl44l-1-55b7546f4c-mshhk -- health
      {
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "status" : "green",
}

    3. Ensure that the Elasticsearch cron jobs are created:

      $ oc project openshift-logging
      $ oc get cronjob
      NAME                     SCHEDULE       SUSPEND   ACTIVE   LAST SCHEDULE   AGE
elasticsearch-im-app     */15 * * * *   False     0        <none>          56s
elasticsearch-im-audit   */15 * * * *   False     0        <none>          56s
elasticsearch-im-infra   */15 * * * *   False     0        <none>          56s

    4. Verify that the log store is updated to 5.x and the indices are green:

      $ oc exec -c elasticsearch <any_es_pod_in_the_cluster> -- indices

    5. Verify that the output includes the app-00000x, infra-00000x, audit-00000x, .security indices.
