Hi,

Ken'ichi Omichi submitted a change [1] in devstack to change the default log level to 1 for libvirt. This results in continual spam to /var/log/messages in my development system, even after exiting devstack. The spam looks like:

in a continual loop

I submitted a change [2] that sets the default to level 2 (info + warnings + errors) which was -1'ed by Sean Dague. His suggestion was to take the discussion upstream so consensus around what the default should be can be made so this doesn't end up getting changed every week.

The core mission of devstack is to provide a development environment for developers. The fact that it is being used in the gate seems somewhat ancillary to it's mission, and forcing a default of "spam the system logs with tons of libvirt messages" seems counter to the core mission of devstack. As is, without modification devstack makes looking at anything useful in my system logs impossible without grep -v libvirt and is intrusive to developer's workstations.

Why not just make this a shell variable/localrc option that defaults to the original and have the gate jobs set it to debug?

David,

I don't think devstack should be mucking with system config files including libvirt in the default case. If someone wants to propose a special case change to handle the gate jobs, that would solve the gate not having enough log information, as indicated in a followup thread from Daniel. Since the gate jobs are throw-away VMs, the problem of polluting developer workstation config files with devstack changes doesn't exist.
