Setup netconsole on upload@esams hosts
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Upon @faidon's suggestion, we should configure netconsole on at least upload@esams to log kernel messages to a central host, to ensure that we don't miss kernel messages potentially emitted at crash time but before the hosts manage to write them to disk.

In case it is helpful: we can reuse the centrallog hosts in codfw/eqiad. For site-local netconsole instead we'll need to setup local syslog collectors anyways (on ganeti VMs) for network devices syslog, so we could piggyback on those.

This is now done in prod. All upload@esams nodes are sending their kernel messages to a central host. See journalctl -u netconsole on ganeti3002.
