Comment (by catalyst):

 Suggestion: remember the source of the `DisableNetwork=1`, e.g., command
 line, config file or controller connection, so we can log something like
 "command line set DisableNetwork" or "controller set DisableNetwork".
 Maybe even have an additional parameter to DisableNetwork so an
 application can put a user-friendly reason, e.g., "Tor Browser startup"
 (tor command line `DisableNetwork 0` when Tor Browser starts up) or "Tor
 Browser config dialog".

 Also, log a message when we set `DisableNetwork=0`. Right now a user has
 no way to tell from the log files that we turned DisableNetwork off.

 Replying to [comment:8 traumschule]:
 > After my monologue in #27351 i propose it to log "DisableNetwork is set.
 Network settings are opened or  bootstrapping failed. Do we have
 connectivity? Tor will not make or accept non-control network connections.
 Shutting down all existing connections."
 I think this wording is too specific to Tor Browser and is not something
 that the tor daemon should use to log this event.

 But this is even longer and should not appear every second. The
 connectivity test could be done by Tor and log that the guard is not
 reachable (anymore). Instead of proposing to set DisableNetwork=0 with
 stem or nyx the UI could offer a button "Enable Network" and show the
 error if it fails.

 If anybody has a suggestion for better log behavior, it would probably be
 easy to implement.

Comment (by catalyst):

 I think Tor Browser sets DisableNetwork whenever the configuration dialog
 is up, which can also happen if bootstrap failed for some reason.

Comment (by arma):

 #24627 is a good straightforward example case of a user who thinks it's
 relevant enough to put in the ticket title.

 And in fact that ticket illustrates another aspect of the issue, where a
 network team developer gets confused by the log message too.
