Summary

Split out from #31530 per review feedback — this PR contains just the monitor test / scraper topology-awareness changes (the OCPBUGS-111056 fix itself). The TNF recovery suite stability fixes remain in #31530.

1. Operator log scraper topology awareness (OCPBUGS-111056)

  • Detect DualReplica/SingleReplica topology via Infrastructure CR and return FlakeError instead of hard failure on transient API errors (503, NotFound, connection refused, terminated containers)
  • Retry Pods("").List() with exponential backoff (4 attempts) before failing
  • Skip per-pod log read errors that are transient on reduced topologies
  • Tighten pod name filter from Contains("operator") to Contains("-operator-") to exclude marketplace catalog pods

2. Monitor test flaking on reduced topologies

  • kubelet-log-collector: Flake nodeFailedLeaseErrorsInRapidSuccession on DualReplica/SingleReplica (lease errors are expected during disruptive recovery)
  • legacy-node-invariants: Flake kube-apiserver terminates within graceful termination period and overlapping apiserver process detected on reduced topologies
  • pathological events: Set failThreshold = math.MaxInt for BackoffStartingFailedContainer on reduced topologies (flake-only, no hard failure)

HA behavior is unchanged — these errors still hard-fail there. Applies to both SNO and DualReplica (TNF).

Bug: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-111056

Test plan

  • go build and go vet pass on all modified packages
  • Verify operator-log-scraper produces FlakeError (not hard failure) on TNF recovery jobs
  • Verify monitor tests flake (not hard-fail) on reduced topologies
  • Confirm no regression on HA topology (strict behavior preserved)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved monitoring test behavior for clusters with single- or dual-replica topologies.
    • Reduced false failures from known flaky tests and transient pod, API, connection, and container errors during log collection.
    • Improved operator log collection by retrying temporary pod-list failures and skipping transient log-read issues where appropriate.
    • Adjusted backoff-related failure detection for reduced-topology clusters to prevent unreliable results.

…aware

The initial-and-final-operator-log-scraper monitor test hard-fails on TNF
(DualReplica) and SNO after disruptive recovery: node reboots race with
kube-apiserver/kubelet coming back up, producing 503s, kubelet proxy auth
errors, and terminated-container errors that the scraper treats as fatal.

Detect DualReplica/SingleReplica topology via the Infrastructure CR and
downgrade transient collection errors to FlakeError instead of a hard
failure, retrying Pods("").List() with exponential backoff first. Apply the
same topology-aware flake treatment to three other monitor tests that see
the same class of expected noise during reduced-topology recovery:
kubelet-log-collector's lease-error detector, legacy-node-invariants'
graceful-termination and overlapping-apiserver checks, and the pathological
events backoff-starting-failed-container check. HA behavior is unchanged —
these errors still hard-fail there.

Also tighten the scraper's pod name filter from Contains("operator") to
Contains("-operator-") to stop matching unrelated marketplace catalog pods
like redhat-operators-*.

Walkthrough

The change adds reduced-topology detection for dual and single cluster layouts. Node monitors adjust selected test and event outcomes. Operator log collection retries transient failures and reports eligible reduced-topology failures as flakes.

Changes

Reduced topology monitoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Topology-aware monitor results
pkg/monitortests/node/kubeletlogcollector/monitortest.go, pkg/monitortests/node/legacynodemonitortests/monitortest.go, pkg/monitortests/node/legacynodemonitortests/pathological_events.go
Kubelet and legacy monitors detect dual or single topologies. Configured failed tests become passing JUnit cases when no passing result exists. The pathological event threshold becomes math.MaxInt for reduced topologies.
Topology-aware operator log collection
pkg/monitortests/testframework/operatorloganalyzer/operator_log_scraper.go
The analyzer detects reduced topologies, retries transient pod-list failures, narrows operator pod matching, skips eligible transient log errors, and returns flake errors with collected intervals.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8e278

Transient topology-discovery failures can cause reduced-topology recovery errors to hard-fail instead of being reported as flakes. The PR is not merge-ready until discovery errors are handled separately from HA behavior.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

No changed test title contains run-dependent data. The new reduced-topology mappings use fixed descriptive names, and the affected files contain no Ginkgo declaration. The existing namespace-formatted JUnit name was unchanged by the pull request.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS — The pull request does not add or modify Ginkgo It blocks. The changed monitor code adds no resource creation, cleanup obligation, Gomega assertions, Eventually, or Consistently calls. The new pod-list retry uses wait.ExponentialBackoffWithContext with four steps and the supplied context, so it is bounded. The modified code therefore introduces no failure under the stated test-structure requirements.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The patch modifies four existing monitor-test and operator-log-scraper Go files. The diff adds no Ginkgo e2e declarations such as It(), Describe(), Context(), or When(). Therefore, the MicroShift API compatibility check is not applicable. The added Infrastructure API usage is in scraper/monitor framework code, not a new Ginkgo e2e test.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no new Ginkgo e2e tests. The exact diff changes four existing monitor-test/scraper Go files, and added-line searches found no It(), Describe(), Context(), or When() declarations. The changed code is registered through monitorTestRegistry.AddMonitorTestOrDie(...), not Ginkgo test declarations. Therefore the SNO multi-node assumption check is not applicable.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only monitor-test and operator-log-scraper logic in four files under pkg/monitortests. The diff adds topology detection, retries, log filtering, and flake handling. It does not add or modify deployment manifests, controllers, workloads, replicas, affinity, topology spread, node selectors, tolerations, or PDBs. Therefore, it introduces no scheduling constraint covered by this check.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

No new forbidden stdout write is introduced. The changed code adds only framework.Logf calls; framework.Logf writes to ginkgo.GinkgoWriter, which the check explicitly excludes. The diff adds no fmt.Print*, log.Print*, klog output, os.Stdout write, main, init, or suite-setup code. The existing os.Stdout write in kubeletlogcollector/node.go is unchanged.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request modifies four existing monitor-test/scraper Go files and adds no new Ginkgo test declarations such as It, Describe, Context, or When. The added code contains no hardcoded IPv4 addresses, IPv4-only parsing, URL construction, or public-network connections. The existing registry.redhat.io reference is unchanged and is only part of an existing test name/comment.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds topology detection, retry logic, error classification, and JUnit flake handling. The changed lines introduce no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, cryptographic APIs, custom crypto, or secret/token comparisons. The changed-file import and added-line scans found no crypto-related usage.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only four Go source files. The diff adds no Kubernetes/container manifest and no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, or allowPrivilegeEscalation setting. The custom check has no applicable failure condition.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The PR adds raw error logging in pkg/monitortests/testframework/operatorloganalyzer/operator_log_scraper.go at lines 52, 72, 145-147, and 196-197. framework.Logf formats arguments directly. Kubernetes requests can return *url.Error, whose text includes the request URL. Therefore transient connection errors can write the internal API hostname to test logs. The new pod log path also logs raw Pods.Get and GetLogs.Stream errors.

Resolution

Do not pass raw Kubernetes or transport errors to framework.Logf or to a flake error that may be logged later. Log only a fixed error category and safe status code. Redact request URLs, response bodies, credentials, and other variable error text before logging. Apply the same sanitization to returned flake errors.

Reverts the 4 monitor-test files to main's version so this PR is scoped to
just the TNF recovery suite stability fixes, per review feedback on
splitting the two independent concerns into separate PRs. The topology
awareness work (operator-log-scraper + kubelet-log-collector +
legacy-node-invariants + pathological events) now lives in openshift#31597.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not classify topology-discovery failures as HA.

A temporary Infrastructure read failure makes these paths treat an unknown topology as non-reduced. A DualReplica or SingleReplica run then hard-fails on recovery errors that this PR must classify as flakes.

  • pkg/monitortests/testframework/operatorloganalyzer/operator_log_scraper.go#L71-L73: represent discovery failure separately from HA, then apply a retry or caller error policy.
