Engineering Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172983 Title: Logging not working when syslog user non-existent Status in cloud-init: Expired Bug description: On systems that don't have a 'syslog' user (IE CentOS), logging to /var/log/cloud-init.log does not work. I have seen the following warning: 2013-04-26 01:18:34,299 - util.py[WARNING]: Unable to change the ownership of /var/log/cloud-init.log to user syslog, group adm It appears as though the problem is in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/05_logging.cfg: ... # These will be joined into a string that defines the configuration - [ *log_base, *log_syslog ] # These will be joined into a string that defines the configuration - [ *log_base, *log_file ] A quick fix is to comment out the line with log_syslog: # These will be joined into a string that defines the configuration # - [ *log_base, *log_syslog ] # These will be joined into a string that defines the configuration - [ *log_base, *log_file ] This fixes the issue and logs directly to the file.
