Jan Rodák a1249425bd Configure HealthCheck with podman update
New flags in a `podman update` can change the configuration of HealthCheck when the container is started, without having to restart or recreate the container.

This can help determine why a given container suddenly started failing HealthCheck without interfering with the services it provides. For example, reconfigure HealthCheck to keep logs longer than the usual last X results, store logs to other destinations, etc.

Fixes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-60561

--health-log-destination=directory_path

Set the destination of the HealthCheck log. Directory path, local or events_logger (local use container state file) (Default: local)

  • local: (default) HealthCheck logs are stored in overlay containers. (For example: $runroot/healthcheck.log)
  • directory: creates a log file named <container-ID>-healthcheck.log with HealthCheck logs in the specified directory.
  • events_logger: The log will be written with logging mechanism set by events_logger. It also saves the log to a default directory, for performance on a system with a large number of logs.
