22:56.15josePHPagodahi guys!
22:56.52josePHPagodaso i'm wondering, when I'm creating a tarball, if I do a --atime-preserve, when I extract that file, will it have the same mtime on all of the destinations that I extract it to?
22:58.31herlono
22:58.54herlojosePHPagoda: that will preserve the latest access time, you probably want to preserve the modified time
22:59.40fugue88In fact, it preserves atime on the original file; the flag doesn't change what is recorded in the tar (it probably always records the original atime or something).
22:59.54josePHPagodayeah
23:00.02josePHPagodawe're setting up our etags stuff
23:00.15herlojosePHPagoda: look at --mtime
23:00.31fugue88josePHPagoda: Your webservers transfer everything as tars?  ;P
23:00.34josePHPagodawanna make sure it's time is consistent between servers
23:00.39josePHPagodawe do use tars for a lot
23:00.41josePHPagoda:-P
23:00.47josePHPagodait's a simple tool that works quickly
23:00.50josePHPagoda:-D
23:00.55herlojosePHPagoda: I heard from Heartsbane last night that you guys don't use a standard logger
23:01.06josePHPagodathat is correct
23:01.09fugue88Standard loggers are simple tools that work quickly.
23:01.15fugue88:D
23:01.30josePHPagodathey do, but they don't aggregate and insert records the way we want
23:01.32josePHPagoda:-P
23:01.35herlojosePHPagoda: I suggest looking at rsyslog if you need to store your logs other than in the filesystem and start using a standard logging
23:01.40herlotool
23:01.48josePHPagodawe're using an analytics db
23:01.52josePHPagodaand dumping them directly into there
23:01.55josePHPagoda:-D
23:01.56herlojosePHPagoda: rsyslog can use a db
23:02.01josePHPagodanot monet
23:02.01herloand log directly there
23:02.03josePHPagodasadly :-(
23:02.06fugue88Use 0mq.  It's cooler.
23:02.08josePHPagodathough we are using syslog packets
23:02.08herlojosePHPagoda: money is dome
23:02.14herlos/dome/dumb/
23:02.22herlogah!
23:02.22josePHPagodamonet or money?
23:02.26josePHPagoda:-P
23:02.30herlorepeats what he meant
23:02.33herlomonet is dumb!
23:02.37josePHPagodalol
23:02.40herlokicks his fingers
23:02.44josePHPagodawhy do you say that?
23:02.55fugue88monet is dead
23:03.01fugue88He can't talk.
23:03.05herloindeed
23:03.07josePHPagodalol
23:03.13josePHPagodahave you guys used monetdb?
23:03.22josePHPagoda(and they've got commits happening fairly often, just saying)
23:03.25josePHPagoda:-P
23:03.29fugue88So, they're unstable?
23:03.30herlojosePHPagoda: seriously though, rsyslog could work with whatever, it's just an odbc connection, right?
23:03.47josePHPagodabut we're open to suggestions for a better datastore if you guys know of any
23:03.50josePHPagoda:-P
23:03.56josePHPagodarsyslog is good, but won't catch everything sadly
23:03.59herlojosePHPagoda: postgresql
23:04.03herlojosePHPagoda: how so?
23:04.10herlorsyslog won't catch what?
23:04.16josePHPagodacustom apps unfortunately
23:04.19josePHPagoda:-(
23:04.20herloit's just a logger, your app sends it to the logger
23:04.24josePHPagodayeah
23:04.37josePHPagodawe're writing something that covers people that use file based logs, and not stream based logs
23:04.41herloyou mean custom *poorly* *written* apps?
23:04.45josePHPagodayeah
23:04.49fugue88heh
23:04.51josePHPagodasadly, we need to accomodate those too
23:04.57fugue88Now you have *two* problems.
23:05.00herlojosePHPagoda: how does that matter?
23:05.12herlofile based or stream based, rsyslog can do both at the same time
23:05.18herloisn't kidding
23:05.30fugue88herlo: As logging sources, or just as logging destinations?
23:05.46herlodestination
23:06.09herlosources are apps, I suppose they could be files if there were some way to process them into a standard logger
23:06.16fugue88josePHPagoda: Simple workaround for apps that insist on logging to files:  tail -F redir'd to syslog.
23:06.26herlofugue88: better is a named pipe
23:06.32fugue88Oooh, yeah!
23:06.34josePHPagodathere are a few interesting issues
23:06.37herlorsyslog can pull from that
23:06.50josePHPagodathat logger stuff will be coming shortly, and we may reevaluate it, i dunno
23:06.51herlopretty easily in fact
23:07.02herlojosePHPagoda: I highly recommend looking back at rsyslog
23:07.04josePHPagodarsyslog isn't bad by any means, we just had trouble getting it to catch a few things
23:07.16herlolike what
23:07.17josePHPagodabut maybe when we revisit it more thoroughly, we'll catch what we missed
23:07.33josePHPagodahang on though, wanna get this tar thing working right
23:07.47herlohasn't seen anything solid that rsyslog couldn't do from your statement
23:07.50fugue88You like a little sunk-cost, fallacy, eh?
23:07.58fugue88josePHPagoda: ^
23:08.02josePHPagodaif I do a --mtime then, when the tarball is extracted, it'll have a consistent time?
23:08.17herlojosePHPagoda: not sure off hand, test it yerself
23:08.24herlouse touch if you need to modify the mtime
23:08.39herlowill be back in a bit, gotta go replace my pants
23:08.44fugue88tmi
23:08.51herlofugue88: not really
23:08.56fugue88:)
23:09.13herloI bought some carpenter jeans and last night they ripped across the rear pocket
23:09.21herloIt's really the only pair I like
23:09.26fugue88:(
23:09.28herloso I am going to go buy some more to replacfe them :)
23:09.32herlos/fe/e/
23:10.05josePHPagodafugue88, herlo, it isn't that, it's that i'm wanting to get this tar thing worked out first... our main issues that we had with rsyslog had to do with aggregating the information, but since we got monet to use odbc, that might not be so much of an issue anymore, i dont know, like I said, we'll have to revisit it... trust me, if we lived based on sunk costs, we'd be horribly broken right now... we've refactored many many times
23:10.08josePHPagoda:-P
23:10.27fugue88:D
23:12.36josePHPagodawe'll just have to revisit our list of requirements and see what it says
23:15.56fugue88josePHPagoda: I think tar will try to set the archived mtime on extraction by default.
23:16.31josePHPagodathat's what we're hoping for
23:16.34josePHPagodajust running some tests
23:16.37josePHPagoda:-D
23:17.21fugue88josePHPagoda: Yep, preserved mtime, but not atime or ctime (mtime is usually what you care about though).
23:17.33josePHPagodathat is exactly what we care about
23:17.35josePHPagoda:-D
23:19.30josePHPagodajust fyi guys, regardless of logging solution we use, we'll be letting people specify a remote syslog server if they want logs streamed to them
23:19.33josePHPagoda:-D
23:46.48josePHPagodayay!
23:46.51josePHPagodait worked
23:46.53josePHPagodawe're not using etags properly
23:47.00josePHPagodaerr
23:47.03josePHPagodawe're now using etags properly
23:47.06josePHPagoda:-P
23:47.10josePHPagodatalk about a typo changing the meaning
