Upgrading to Beaker 0.14¶

Beaker daemons logging to syslog¶

The beakerd daemon, the lab controller daemons, and the Beaker web application running in Apache now all send their log messages to syslog, rather than writing to files in /var/log/beaker directly.

Due to a TurboGears limitation you must remove the [logging] section from /etc/beaker/server.cfg before upgrading the beaker-server package, since the settings in that section conflict with the syslog-based configuration.

Logging options in /etc/beaker/labcontroller.conf will be ignored if present, and can be removed if desired.

Beaker’s log file locations and log rotation settings are now configured through the standard system mechanisms: /etc/rsyslog.d and /etc/logrotate.d. If you had customised Beaker’s logging configuration previously, you should make the same modifications to the new configuration files.

Submission delegates changes¶

Run beaker-init to add the new submission_delegate table.

Run the following SQL to add the submitter attribute to jobs:

ALTER TABLE job ADD COLUMN submitter_id int default NULL,
    ADD CONSTRAINT `job_submitter_id_fk` FOREIGN KEY (`submitter_id`) REFERENCES `tg_user` (`user_id`);

To roll back:

ALTER TABLE job DROP FOREIGN KEY job_submitter_id_fk,
    DROP submitter_id;
DROP TABLE submission_delegate;
