Hi,
In oVirt's logging configuration we direct org.ovirt.* loggers to the engine log
appender, org.ovirt.engine.ui to the ui's log and then the rest to the server log.
The difficulties come when you start to do cross-component debugging. E.g. you see the
logs of the engine in the engine log, but you would also like to see the logs of the
components the engine is building upon: persistence API's (jdbc, hibernate) network
communication components (e.g. httpclient, vdsm, ssh client), data processing API's
(xml or json-parsers, apache commons apis) and all these logs go to the generic engine
log. So when debugging you would have to merge these logs, otherwise you may miss some
important details.
I believe Moti's patch
(
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#patch,sidebyside,257,3,backend/manager/conf/jbos...) is
one step in the another (I believe more useful) direction.
But rather than specifying all the components that the engine uses, wouldn't it make
sense to take just let all the logs flow into a single appender?
What is your opinion?
Thank you,
Laszlo

given to using the syslog appender and
sending all messages there? Most data centers already have tools in
place for analyzing the contents of syslog.
