Before removing from apply_hotfix function first verify that older installs < 3.1.0 are still upgradable when referencing 'so/0013_input_lumberjack_fleet.conf' via pillar. Failure to do so will prevent logstash from starting
The manager's /etc/salt/minion (written by so-functions:configure_minion)
has no file_roots, so salt-call --local falls back to Salt's default
/srv/salt and fails with "No matching sls found for 'postgres.telegraf_users'
in env 'base'". || true was silently swallowing the error, which meant the
DB roles for the pillar entries just populated by the so-telegraf-cred
backfill loop never actually got created.
Route through salt-master instead; its file_roots already points at the
default/local salt trees.
pillar/top.sls now references postgres.soc_postgres / postgres.adv_postgres
unconditionally, but make_some_dirs only runs at install time so managers
upgrading from 3.0.0 have no local/pillar/postgres/ and salt-master fails
pillar render on the first post-upgrade restart. Similarly, secrets_pillar
is a no-op on upgrade (secrets.sls already exists), so secrets:postgres_pass
never gets seeded and the postgres container's POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE and
SOC's PG_ADMIN_PASS would land empty after highstate.
Add ensure_postgres_local_pillar and ensure_postgres_secret to up_to_3.1.0
so the stubs and secret exist before masterlock/salt-master restart. Both
are idempotent and safe to re-run.
The old flow had two writers for each per-minion Telegraf password
(so-minion wrote the minion pillar; postgres.auth regenerated any
missing aggregate entries). They drifted on first-boot and there was
no trigger to create DB roles when a new minion joined.
Split responsibilities:
- pillar/postgres/auth.sls (manager-scoped) keeps only the so_postgres
admin cred.
- pillar/telegraf/creds.sls (grid-wide) holds a {minion_id: {user,
pass}} map, shadowed per-install by the local-pillar copy.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so-telegraf-cred is the single writer:
flock, atomic YAML write, PyYAML safe_dump so passwords never
round-trip through so-yaml.py's type coercion. Idempotent add, quiet
remove.
- so-minion's add/remove hooks now shell out to so-telegraf-cred
instead of editing pillar files directly.
- postgres.telegraf_users iterates the new pillar key and CREATE/ALTERs
roles from it; telegraf.conf reads its own entry via grains.id.
- orch.deploy_newnode runs postgres.telegraf_users on the manager and
refreshes the new minion's pillar before the new node highstates,
so the DB role is in place the first time telegraf tries to connect.
- soup's post_to_3.1.0 backfills the creds pillar from accepted salt
keys (idempotent) and runs postgres.telegraf_users once to reconcile
the DB.
The reactor path is gone; so-minion now owns add/delete for new
minions. The backfill itself is unchanged — postgres.auth's up_minions
fallback fills the aggregate, postgres.telegraf_users creates the
roles, and the bash loop fans to per-minion pillar files — so the
pre-feature upgrade story still works end-to-end. Just refresh the
comment so it isn't misleading.
postgres.auth was running an `unless` shell check per up-minion on every
manager highstate, even when nothing had changed — N fork+python starts
of so-yaml.py add up on large grids. The work is only needed when a
specific minion's key is accepted.
- salt/postgres/auth.sls: fan out only when postgres_fanout_minion
pillar is set (targets that single minion). Manager highstates with
no pillar take a zero-N code path.
- salt/reactor/telegraf_user_sync.sls: re-pass the accepted minion id
as postgres_fanout_minion to the orch.
- salt/orch/telegraf_postgres_sync.sls: forward the pillar to the
salt.state invocation so the state render sees it.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/soup: for the one-time 3.1.0 backfill, drop
the per-minion state.apply and do an in-shell loop over the minion
pillar files using so-yaml.py directly. Skips minions that already
have postgres.telegraf.user set.
state.apply takes a single mods argument; space-separated names are not
a list, so `state.apply postgres.auth postgres.telegraf_users` was only
applying postgres.auth and silently dropping the telegraf_users state.
Use comma-separated mods and add queue=True to match the rest of soup.
feature/postgres had rewritten the 3.1.0 upgrade block, dropping the
elastic upgrade work 3/dev landed for 9.0.8→9.3.3: elasticsearch_backup_index_templates,
the component template state cleanup, and the /usr/sbin/so-kibana-space-defaults
post-upgrade call. It also carried an older ES upgrade mapping
(8.18.8→9.0.8) that was superseded on 3/dev (9.0.8→9.3.3 for
3.0.0-20260331), and a handful of latent shell-quoting regressions in
verify_es_version_compatibility and the intermediate-upgrade helpers.
Adopt the 3/dev soup verbatim and only add the new Telegraf Postgres
provisioning to post_to_3.1.0 on top of so-kibana-space-defaults.
Introduces global.telegraf_output (INFLUXDB|POSTGRES|BOTH, default BOTH)
so Telegraf can write metrics to Postgres alongside or instead of
InfluxDB. Each minion authenticates with its own so_telegraf_<minion>
role and writes to a matching schema inside a shared so_telegraf
database, keeping blast radius per-credential to that minion's data.
- Per-minion credentials auto-generated and persisted in postgres/auth.sls
- postgres/telegraf_users.sls reconciles roles/schemas on every apply
- Firewall opens 5432 only to minion hostgroups when Postgres output is active
- Reactor on salt/auth + orch/telegraf_postgres_sync.sls provision new
minions automatically on key accept
- soup post_to_3.1.0 backfills users for existing minions on upgrade
- so-show-stats prints latest CPU/mem/disk/load per minion for sanity checks
- so-telegraf-trim + nightly cron prune rows older than
postgres.telegraf.retention_days (default 14)
