Public bug reported: This bug occurs with interactive WS-based serial ports in nova. The serial console on the Websocket works fine, but configuring these consoles prevents access to the console logfile via 'openstack console log show'. This bug was discovered in pike with KVM-based virtualization but seems to be in current master as well.
Access to the console logfile is very important because my websocket client is usually not permanently connected. Detailed analysis: The console logfile is still generated by KVM/libvirt. The only difference is that the path of the logfile node changed in the XML information for the instance. The relevant function get_console_output() in nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py fails to find the logfile (it just looks for @type='file', it should also look for @type='tcp'). I'll try to prove a fix for this myself, it shouldn't be complicated.
