Summary

  • Add REDUCE_LOGS=compress_logs to gzip collected .log / .log.* files larger than 10MB after gather finishes and before oc rsyncs /must-gather.
  • Parallelism defaults to 4 and can be tuned with COMPRESS_LOGS_JOBS.
  • Unset / other REDUCE_LOGS values keep existing behavior; compress_logs combines with skip_rotated_logs and compress_service_logs.

Usage

oc adm must-gather -- REDUCE_LOGS=compress_logs /usr/bin/gather
oc adm must-gather -- REDUCE_LOGS=compress_logs COMPRESS_LOGS_JOBS=8 /usr/bin/gather

Test plan

  • ./tmp/bin/bats tests/common.bats
  • Full gather without REDUCE_LOGS unchanged
  • REDUCE_LOGS=compress_logs: large logs become .gz, small logs untouched
  • Combined tokens (skip_rotated_logs,compress_service_logs,compress_logs) work
  • Invalid REDUCE_LOGS value still errors

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional post-collection compression for large log files.
    • Supports parallel gzip compression of .log and .log.* files larger than 10 MB.
    • Preserves small logs and skips files that are already compressed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation and handling of log-reduction settings.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for compression settings, token combinations, filenames with spaces, and file-selection behavior.

Allow REDUCE_LOGS=compress_logs to gzip collected .log files larger than
10MB after gatherers finish (before rsync), with COMPRESS_LOGS_JOBS to
tune parallelism. Unset REDUCE_LOGS keeps existing behavior.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Replace the manual PID pool with find | xargs -P for clearer parallelism,
and drop the unused missing-directory guard now that gather always writes
to /must-gather before compression runs.

Walkthrough

The collection scripts add a compress_logs reduction option. When enabled, post-gather processing compresses eligible large log files in parallel. Tests cover configuration, combinations, validation, and file selection.

Changes

Post-gather log compression

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compression option and helper
collection-scripts/common.sh
Adds compress_logs, exports compress_after_gather, and compresses uncompressed .log and .log.* files larger than 10 MB with gzip.
Post-gather invocation
collection-scripts/gather
Runs compress_logs after collection when compress_after_gather is true.
Configuration and file-selection validation
tests/common.bats
Tests token parsing, combinations, invalid values, filename spaces, file-size filtering, existing compressed files, and directories without compressible files.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d5621

The change adds optional compression for large collected logs while preserving existing behavior when unused; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Stable And Deterministic Test Names ✅ Passed Changed tests use static Bats @test titles, and repository searches found no Ginkgo It/Describe/Context/When declarations or dynamic title interpolation.
Test Structure And Quality ✅ Passed The PR changes shell code and tests/common.bats; repository searches found no Ginkgo test code, so these Ginkgo-specific requirements do not apply.
Microshift Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR changes shell scripts and Bats tests only; the diff adds no Ginkgo It(), Describe(), Context(), or When() e2e tests requiring MicroShift API checks.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR adds only shell changes and Bats tests; added tests use @test syntax, with no new Ginkgo It/Describe/Context/When tests or multi-node assumptions.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility ✅ Passed The available PR diff changes only collection-scripts/common.sh and tests/common.bats; it adds no deployment manifests, operators, controllers, replicas, or scheduling constraints.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract ✅ Passed The PR changes only shell scripts and Bats tests. The repository has no OTE binary or process-level Go stdout/logging code, so the contract is inapplicable.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR adds only Bats tests using @test in tests/common.bats; it adds no Ginkgo e2e tests, IPv4 assumptions, or external connectivity.
No-Weak-Crypto ✅ Passed The PR adds only gzip-based log compression and token validation; the added lines contain no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret comparisons.
Container-Privileges ✅ Passed The PR diff adds shell compression and tests only. It adds no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, root, or allowPrivilegeEscalation manifest settings; existing entries are unchanged.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs ✅ Passed The diff adds only fixed compression status messages and does not log log contents or introduce passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, hostnames, or customer data.

Benchmark (MG-234 compress_logs)

Cluster: 5.5 months old AWS cluster (4.21.0-0.nightly-multi-2026-02-28-140032-1), full gather (no REDUCE_LOGS and no --since).
Image: quay.io/rh-ee-pravekum/must-gather:[MG-234](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/MG-234).

Jobs = xargs -P N parallel gzip processes during compression (e.g. jobs=2 → -P 2).

Metric full must gather (without compression) compress_logs jobs=2 compress_logs jobs=4
Size 32 GiB 7.7 GiB 7.7 GiB
Gather (collect) 26.3 min 25.2 min 27.1 min
Compression 3.7 min 4.0 min
Copy (rsync) 29.3 min 35.2 min 48.3 min
E2E (ns create → delete) 55.6 min 64.5 min 79.8 min

vs full must gather (without compression)

compress_logs jobs=2 compress_logs jobs=4
Size decreased −24.3 GiB (−76%) −24.3 GiB (−76%)
E2E time increased +8.9 min (+16%) +24.2 min (+44%)
Compression overhead +3.7 min +4.0 min
Copy time change +5.9 min +19.0 min

Notes

  • Size win is consistent (~−76%); compression itself adds only ~4 min.
  • E2E was longer than full must gather (without compression) mainly due to slower rsync of already-gzipped logs (wire speedup ~1.16 vs ~5.1 on uncompressed text) plus copy-path variance — not because higher COMPRESS_LOGS_JOBS slows the cluster.
  • jobs=4 did not improve compress time vs jobs=2; the jobs=4 E2E gap is mostly copy variance (~2.7 vs ~3.7 MiB/s).
