[09:19:03] * dhinus paged HarborComponentDown
[09:20:22] <dhinus>	 I can't look at this as I'm leaving for the airport 
[09:21:03] <dhinus>	 cc Raymond_Ndibe if you're online
[09:21:37] <dhinus>	 otherwise it can probably wait until a.ndrew is online later
[09:34:14] <dhinus>	 harbor came back, the alert is no longer firing 
[19:08:07] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 dhinus: I saw your mention late. Yes like you said it came back online.
[19:08:49] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 andrewbogott: are you available to assist with some openstack things?
[19:09:59] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 I was tinkering with object storage for harbor and needed to do some things on openstack:
[19:14:53] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 I mostly need help figuring out authentication and doing other things I don't have access to like creating snapshots and creating new instances with that
[19:22:22] <andrewbogott>	 Raymond_Ndibe: creating VMs from snapshots doesn't work especially well... what is your overall goal?
[19:37:29] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 Let me send the phab task explaining the steps I'm hoping to take:
[19:40:06] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 andrewbogott: the short explanation is that I'm working on a task about storing harbor data in object storage instead of on the filesystem of the harbor installation vm
[19:40:31] <andrewbogott>	 that seems good!
[19:40:58] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350687#10088905
[19:41:41] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 I outlined the things I believe I may need to do to achieve that
[19:43:18] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 the part I'm having issues with is the authentication flow
[19:44:58] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 from my understanding this can be done either using swift or s3 api. I don't have the permission to do any of that on horizon
[19:48:30] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 also since you mentioned that snapshots don't work, I'll also need to create a vm with similar configurations as the existing harbor vms. Not sure I have that permission either
[19:49:35] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 andrewbogott: explicitly pinging just incase you'll miss the above messages if I don't ping
[19:49:56] <andrewbogott>	 You're doing this in the tools project?
[19:50:05] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 No
[19:50:05] <andrewbogott>	 You surely have 'member' right there, or at least in toolsbeta?
[19:50:11] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 toolsbeta first
[19:50:24] <andrewbogott>	 do you not see an 'object store' tab in horizon?
[19:50:51] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 I do. I've already created the harborstorage container
[19:51:54] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 but to auth I'll need to setup extra things like maybe a harbor keystone project right? not exactly sure since this will probably be the first time setting up things like this
[19:54:48] <andrewbogott>	 you're talking about creds for harbor itself to use?  That's probably an app credential https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_OpenStack_APIs#Application_Credentials
[20:00:15] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 yes. Thanks Andrew!, let me quickly look at the above page. Another worry is that I may not have certain permissions and by the time I find this out your workday may be over. But let me start first. If I can't reach you again then I'll resume next two weeks.
[20:04:07] <andrewbogott>	 If you can use that tab you should be able to create new VMs and app creds.
[20:04:46] <andrewbogott>	 I also kind of hope you can stand up a new harbor VM without copying an existing one since it should be puppetized :)  Of course it relies on a trove postgres DB, not sure if you'll want to a make a new one of those or not
[21:13:35] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 setting up a new harbor installation should be easy even without using a snapshot. The idea though is not the replace the current vm. I just need harbor running somewhere that is configured to use object storage to store image data and stuff, instead of the filesystem. With that running I can then configure the current harbor vm to replicate it's data on the new harbor installation. When that is done configure the old 
[21:13:35] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 harbor to use the new harborstorage object storage (which should now have all the neccessary data as a result of the replication)
[21:14:09] <Raymond_Ndibe>	 also setting up a new installation helps confirm exactly what configuration is needed to get harbor to work with object storage
[21:32:44] <andrewbogott>	 Raymond_Ndibe: is that harbor alert something you're doing?
[21:36:07] * andrewbogott got a page but doesn't see anything on alertmanager
