Dave Kranz has been building a system so that we can ensure that
during a Tempest run services don't spew ERRORs in the logs.
Eventually, we're going to gate on this, because there is nothing
that Tempest does to the system that should cause any OpenStack
service to ERROR or stack trace (Errors should actually be
exceptional events that something is wrong with the system, not
regular events).
So I have to disagree with the approach being taken here. Particularly
in the case of Cinder and the negative tests that are in place. When I
read this last week I assumed you actually meant that "Exceptions" were
exceptional and nothing in Tempest should cause Exceptions. It turns
out you apparently did mean Errors. I completely disagree here, Errors
happen, some are recovered, some are expected by the tests etc. Having
a policy and especially a gate that says NO ERROR MESSAGE in logs makes
absolutely no sense to me.
Something like NO TRACE/EXCEPTION MESSAGE in logs I can agree with, but
this makes no sense to me. By the way, here's a perfect example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1243485
As long as we have Tempest tests that do things like "show non-existent
volume" you're going to get an Error message and I think that you should
quite frankly.
Ok, I guess that's where we probably need to clarify what "Not Found"
is. Because "Not Found" to me seems like it should be a request at INFO
level, not ERROR.
ERROR from an admin perspective should really be something that would
suitable for sending an alert to an administrator for them to come and
fix the cloud.
TRACE is actually a lower level of severity in our log systems than
ERROR is.
