Avoid db connections when logging db connection errors #37458

Fenn-CS · 2023-03-28T20:37:42Z

\OC\Log\LogDetails::logDetails depends on \OC_App::getAppVersions() which makes a database connection causing the logger to break when the database service is unavaiable.

Resolves: #37424

As part of this PR, I decided to equally move away from our ILogger since it's deprecated

The ILogger is marked as deprecated with a decision to now use the more stadard Psr\Log\LoggerInterface.

This commit move all logging dependent on our custom
ILogger to Psr\Log\LoggerInterface

See : https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md#3-psrlogloggerinterface

The required changes regarding the above is much bigger project that I expected so this is work in progress but it would nice to have feedback it this is the right path.

I do not thing that this fixes #37424 but it's an important and appreciated code cleanup 👍

We have to do this change carefully. There is still a lot of code to rely on ILogger, even if has been deprecated for a while. But we don't want to break apps, yet.

I would suggest to only continue replacing ILogger method calls with LoggerInterface for now, and leave the ILogger constants in place.

Definitely, it does not. I want to address that in a separate commit and I feel it's more appropriate to do this cleanup first, if it is something that is needed anyways.

I noticed that too, and my intention was to do app refactoring-next and append to this commit. In hopes that the tests would potentially flag the biggest issues?

Thanks for this early feedback! Happy to implement your current recommendations after hearing you last thoughts given my response.

I noticed that too, and my intention was to do app refactoring-next and append to this commit.

Note that only a few apps live inside this repos and are tightly bundled with Nextcloud server: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/tree/master/apps. The rest lives in independent repositories.

We will not be able to replace all ILogger usages at once. Let's try to migrate this repo and app repos independently. And once if looks like ILogger isn't use any longer we drop it from the public API found in the \OCP namespace.

Public APIs are tricky :)

Overall, this catches the DB error and displays something like

Fatal error: Uncaught Doctrine\DBAL\Exception: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[08006] [7] could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php:142 Stack trace: #0 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Connection.php(1531): OC\DB\Connection->connect() #1 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Connection.php(1029): Doctrine\DBAL\Connection->getWrappedConnection() #2 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php(264): Doctrine\DBAL\Connection->executeQuery() #3 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Query/QueryBuilder.php(345): OC\DB\Connection->executeQuery() #4 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/QueryBuilder/QueryBuilder.php(280): Doctrine\DBAL\Query\QueryBuilder->execute() #5 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/AppConfig.php(418): OC\DB\QueryBuilder\QueryBuilder->execute() #6 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/AppConfig.php(226): OC\AppConfig->loadConfigValues() #7 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/AllConfig.php(217): OC\AppConfig->getValue() #8 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/Server.php(1840): OC\AllConfig->getAppValue() #9 /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/index.php(77): OC\Server->getPsrLogger() #10 {main} thrown in /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php on line 142

instead of the regular

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.
More details can be found in the server log.

I am also able to see the error in /var/log/apache2/error.log

My expectation was that the customPsrLogger would log to $dataDir.'nextcloud.log' but nothing is written on that log.

Finally I didn't expect to logger to interrupt the sending regular error message that points to the logs.

getConfig() and getSystemConfig() methods are marked as deprecated, what new method is available to achieve this?

Turns out getSystemValue() and getAppValue() all depend on a working database connection so it causes the issue I reported in my self review.

Is there a way to read the values from config.php that does not require the db set up?

you're probably going to read the config.php directly. At this point, the database is already a goner and it's just about handling the error gracefully, so that is unusual but the only way to do it.

Fenn-CS · 2023-04-14T11:05:07Z

So after setting a Psr compliant logger in index.php it appears to me like the only way to write to the log file is to use one of these methods OC\Log\Errorlog->write() or \OC\Log\File->write() in the catch section of the db connect function where this error is thrown (and caught in index.php without being logged)

server/lib/private/DB/Connection.php

Lines 138 to 141 in 8a79636

    
           } catch (Exception $e) { 
        
           	// throw a new exception to prevent leaking info from the stacktrace 
        
           	throw new Exception('Failed to connect to the database: ' . $e->getMessage(), $e->getCode()); 
        
           }

So something like

		} catch (Exception $e) {
			$logFilePath = \OC::getLogFile();
			$logFile = new File($logFilePath, '', $this->systemConfig);
			$logFile->write('app', 'Log testing', 3); // Throws memory limit exceeded
                        // Additionally
			$connectionErrorLogger = \OC::$server->get(LogFactory::class);
			$connectionErrorLogger = $connectionErrorLogger->getCustomPsrLogger($logFilePath);
			$connectionErrorLogger->error("Test Error Message", []); // Throws memory limit exceeded
			 throw new Exception('Failed to connect to the database: ' . $e->getMessage(), $e->getCode());
		}

Essentially calling various log methods in the OC\DB\Connection->connect() would lead to a memory limit exceeded error.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /home/fenn/nextcloud/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Driver/API/PostgreSQL/ExceptionConverter.php on line 81

Questions

Is this something that anyone has seen and what could be the issue?
Are my conclusions about the methods necessary to write to log file true?

Thank you!

Update (now fixed)

I added the commit :

Avoid making db connection when logging about database connection

For various reasons, sometimes a database would not be possible. Our file
 logger before this commit has a function call that relies on a db connection
 that is ironic and creates some kind of chicken and egg scenario. This commit,
resolves that.

How does log file look when db there's a db connection problem?

About the question in the last update

I am still not sure why calling various methods (I tried with logger methods such and Log\File->write()) would lead to a memory execeeded exception in DBAL but my best guess is, those methods use a fair amount of memory and are then called multiples times. Printing a string once from the error handling catch for OC\DB\Connection.php leads to the string being printed more than 10 times on output, which implies a db connection is attempted several times for the application is boostraped.

Our file logger before this commit has a function call that relies on a db connection that is ironic and creates some kind of chicken and egg scenario.

It could be \OC_User::getUser() in logDetails then.

Now the problem is that this silently ignore an error. I would feel better if I understood why it’s not possible to log without building OC\Memcache\Factory

I added a try-catch that would only catch db connection failures, I guess that's a more convenient work around.

So the fix is in Server.php and the other changes in index.php are only to modernize how we get the logger right?

Lines 1403 to 1405 in b294eda

    
           $this->registerService(\OCP\ISession::class, function (ContainerInterface $c) { 
        
           	return $c->get(\OCP\IUserSession::class)->getSession(); 
        
           }, false);

server/lib/private/Server.php

Line 669 in b294eda

$this->registerAlias(\OCP\IUserSession::class, \OC\User\Session::class);

\OC\User\Session -> OC\User\Manager -> ICacheFactory

ICacheFactory then uses \OC_App::getAppVersions(); for the cache prefix 😢

The good news is, that the csrf token manager is not an essential dependency for the request object itself. We can extract the functionality from the request object to an own service.

This commit replaces more ILogger method calls with `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface` as we gradually move away from the custom ILogger. This commit aslo, sets the customPsrLogger to not depend on the database to `logfile` config value. Signed-off-by: fenn-cs <fenn25.fn@gmail.com>

`\OC\Log\LogDetails::logDetails` depends on `\OC_App::getAppVersions()` which makes a database connection causing the logger to break when the database service is unavaiable. Signed-off-by: fenn-cs <fenn25.fn@gmail.com>
