Move component working directory management to coordinator by swiatekm · Pull Request #10857 · elastic/elastic-agent

swiatekm · 2025-10-27T16:25:57Z

What does this PR do?

It makes the coordinator responsible for creating and removing the working directories of components. Until now, CommandRuntime and ServiceRuntime did this on their own, whereas the OtelManager didn't do it at all. We move the logic for creating and removing the directories into the component module itself, and call it from the Coordinator. The new logic is as follows.

When we generate a new component model, we ensure each component has a working directory.
When we get a STOPPED state for a component AND that component is not present in the component model, we delete its working directory.

The condition that the component must not be present in the current model fixes an issue where the working directory would be deleted when the component was being moved between runtimes.

Why is it important?

Currently, the Otel runtime does not remove the working directories at all. The behavior should be the same no matter where the component runs.
If a component is moved from the process runtime to the otel runtime, its working directory is incorrectly deleted. This causes filestream to re-ingest all logs, for example.

Note that I've included an integration test from #10544, which specifically checks point 2 from above.

Did a first pass and this looks good, want to see CI pass before approving and take a second look with fresher eyes tomorrow (some else approving also covers this).

There is also the requirement that we don't change the run directory names from what they were before this change, which I double checked manually to confirm it is the same.

This change looks good to me. My only comment is really on the changelog.
