Remove svlogd filter from consul configuration
What does this MR do?
This MR removes the svlogd filter that we added in !1946 (merged) as it is no longer matching the log line, and is no longer necessary to suppress repeated log entries.
Background
The Consul v1.7.0 release (Changelog link) included two pull requests that changed how this logging was handled
- GH-5739 changed how successive check logged critical errors to the consul log output and removed the warning log line reported in #6589 (closed)
-
GH-7130 overhauled the logging across the board and changed the format of the service check from
agent: Check 'service:postgresql' is now critical
toagent: Check is now critical: check=service:postgresql
We upgraded consul to 1.9.6 from 1.6.10 in GitLab 14 : Update consul to version 1.9.6 (!5344 - merged)
Change Rationale
This MR removes the "logging_filter" functionality entirely. The rationale behind that is that we do not provide a mechanism for adding filters to the svlogd config for any other runit/svlogd-managed service in Omnibus, and removing it reduces the configuration overhead. We also don't list it as a setting in the gitlab.rb.template
It's possible that a GitLab Omnibus user has made use of this logging_filter
for their own needs, though incredibly unlikely. If that's the case, we could add this functionality back with just an empty hash as the default and add a test as appropriate.
