Package: xen-utils-3.2-1
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
this morning I spend some time to find out how to log console output of
Xen guest domains into a file in dom0.
I ended up using a quick 'n dirty solution:
mario:/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin 0-# diff -u xend.orig xend
--- xend.orig 2009-03-02 16:49:49.000000000 +0100
+++ xend 2009-03-02 16:16:03.000000000 +0100

import time
time.sleep(2)
if os.fork() == 0:
- execute('xenconsoled')
+ args = ["--log", "guest", "--log-dir", "/var/log/xen/guest/"]
+ execute('xenconsoled', args)
def start_blktapctrl():
if os.fork() == 0:
mario:/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin 0-#
It seems the options used to start xenconsoled cannot be configured in
Debian now. /etc/init.d/xend executes /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/xend which
executes xenconsoled subsequently.

Hi,
Matej Vela noticed internally a few months ago that this bug was fixed in
xen-utils-4.0, so I'm now spreading the new gospel ;) there's now
a /etc/default/xend file which can include:
XENCONSOLED_ARGS="--log=guest"
You could however file a separate bug report against the new version for
e.g. not shipping this enabled by default, and/or for failing to provide
an example logrotate configuration for the same :)
install -d -g adm -m 2750 /var/log/xen/console
/etc/logrotate.d/xenconsoled:
/var/log/xen/console/*.log {
rotate 4
weekly
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
sharedscripts
postrotate
[ -e /var/run/xenconsoled.pid ] && kill -HUP `cat
/var/run/xenconsoled.pid`
endscript
}
