You may be able to do away with the log host altogether as you desire by simply leaving the ‘log_hosts’ group out of the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml and /etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/*.yml files. This is an untested code path so you may find that we make assumptions about the presence of the log_host so please register bugs for any issues you find so that we can eradicate those assumptions. To my mind the log host is not required for a deployment if the deployer so chooses (and especially if the deployer has alternative syslog targets in-place). >How can i modify my openstack-ansible environment (/etc/openstack_deploy, >env.d, conf.d, openstack_user_config.yml, user_variables.yml, playbook ?) the >most transparent manner and that permits minor release update simply ? As long as you’re only editing things in user space (i.e. In /etc/openstack_deploy/) and not in-tree (i.e. In /opt/openstack-ansible/) then the minor upgrade process is documented here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/openstack-ansible/mitaka/install-guide/app-minorupgrade.html I hope that this answers your questions! ________________________________ Rackspace Limited is a company registered in England & Wales (company registered number 03897010) whose registered office is at 5 Millington Road, Hyde Park Hayes, Middlesex UB3 4AZ.
