Summary

  • Retire the optional Slurm ELK logging playbook (playbooks/slurm-cluster/logging.yml) and its six third-party Galaxy dependencies. The robertdebock.elasticsearch and robertdebock.kibana upstreams are archived (December 2023), the rest are frozen from the same period, and the pins are Elasticsearch-7-era versions predating the Elastic license change. The playbook was not wired into the main slurm-cluster.yml deployment and had no current validation.
  • Cluster syslog aggregation remains available through the existing rsyslog server/client path (docs/misc/syslog.md, updated). The Kubernetes logging document is unchanged — it describes a procedure based on Elastic's own maintained Helm charts, which is unaffected by this retirement.
  • Remove the retired stack's Kibana port from the firewall documentation.

Validation

Notes

  • Part of the dependency-ownership cleanup for the next release: archived upstreams are removed rather than carried.

The optional playbooks/slurm-cluster/logging.yml deployed an
Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana/Filebeat stack through six third-party
Galaxy roles whose upstreams are archived (elasticsearch, kibana since
December 2023) or frozen, pinned at Elasticsearch 7-era versions that
predate the Elastic license change. The playbook was not wired into the
main slurm-cluster deployment and had no current validation.

Remove the playbook, its filebeat template, and the six Galaxy
dependencies. Cluster syslog aggregation remains available through the
existing rsyslog server/client path (docs/misc/syslog.md), and the
Kubernetes logging document continues to describe a procedure based on
Elastic's own maintained Helm charts for sites that want a full stack.
