One thing that trapped me before is: it's not utterly obvious what code changes will cause this noise in production, because it depends on configuration rules that developers can't see. I naively added "warning" level logging about slightly-bad situations to some mail code and it turns out that sets off a big red light, whereas "debug" and "info" are fine (iirc). m _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
