Problem capturing Supervisor logs with core/fluentd

Habitat Help
#1

I am attempting to use core/fluentd to capture the Habitat Supervisor logs to do… something… with them.

I am appending gem 'fluent-plugin-systemd' to the core plan.sh so that I can use the systemd source type in fluentd, as below:

<source>
  @type systemd
  tag hab-sup
  path /var/jog/journal
  match [{ "_SYSTEMD_UNIT": "hab-sup-default.service" }]
  read_from_head true
</source>

When loading my fluentd service, I am seeing an error:

Jun 08 15:57:32 aup1.tmeu.eunstg1.websys.tmcs hab[538]: fluentd.default(O): /hab/pkgs/tm/fluentd/1.0.2/20180608143101/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/ffi-1.9.25/lib/ffi.rb:6:in `require': libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /hab/pkgs/tm/fluentd/1.0.2/20180608143101/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/ffi-1.9.25/lib/ffi_c.so (LoadError)

The file in question appears to be present:

$ ll /hab/pkgs/tm/fluentd/1.0.2/20180608143101/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/ffi-1.9.25/lib/ffi_c.so

Has anybody encountered this, or found an equivalent solution for consuming the Supervisor logs?

@oliversellers can you share your full plan? A link to a repo works too

@elliott-davis It is exactly as the core/fluentd plan.sh found here https://github.com/habitat-sh/core-plans/blob/master/fluentd/plan.sh with the addition of gem 'fluent-plugin-systemd' in the Gemfile, i.e.

pkg_name=fluentd

pkg_version=1.0.2
pkg_deps=(
  core/ruby
  core/coreutils
  core/bundler

  core/gcc-libs

do_build() {

  _bundler_dir=$(pkg_path_for bundler)

  export GEM_HOME=${pkg_path}/vendor/bundle
  export GEM_PATH=${_bundler_dir}:${GEM_HOME}

  cat > Gemfile <<-GEMFILE
    source 'https://rubygems.org'
    gem 'fluentd', '= ${pkg_version}'
    gem 'fluent-plugin-systemd'
GEMFILE

  bundle install --jobs 2 --retry 5 --path ./vendor/bundle --binstubs
}

do_install() {
  cp -R . "$pkg_prefix/"
  fix_interpreter "$pkg_prefix/bin/*" core/coreutils bin/env
}

I’m going to take a look at this today. I’ve got a couple things I need to finish up this morning but then I’ll see if I can’t help get you unblocked here!

#5

Missing is a libffi.so.6. Seems like due gem has such static liking…

#6

Yeah I think @epcim is correct. To start you’re going to need to take a runtim dep on core/libffi . That being said, testing this locally does get us past this initial error but i’m testing in a studio where systemd doesn’t exist and it bombs out the moment that systemd libraries get accessed. Can you give this a shot and let me know what you see?

#7

We’ve added both core/libffi and core/systemd to the runtime dependencies… we no longer see Gem issues.
