Enable FastStart install to optionally upload error logs #50

Open eucacolby opened 10 years ago

eucacolby commented 10 years ago

FastStart installer reports EUCA_INSTALL_FAILED when there was a failure during the chef recipe run. No further information is provided, so it is not possible to know which issues were encountered? Investigating these issues could help us greatly improve the user experience.

The request is to have the FastStart install request to upload the logs. This would be optional (default "on"), so users who aren't comfortable / willing / able to share the data can say "No". Not sure where the data should be published, though it should uploaded to a reasonably secured location - for privacy concerns.

NOTE: This enhancement request does NOT suggest there is an SLA associated with investigating errors. It does, however, ensure there's a useful collection of data available as staffing bandwidth becomes available.

The first step for this is to figure out where logs will be uploaded. From there we need to figure out how the client box will authenticate.
