[Users] too much debugging in ovirt-node

Hi all, Using ovirt-node-iso-2.6.1-20120228.fc18.iso (2012 seems to be a typo, must be 2013?) is logging with too much debugging. Changing all the"DEBUG" to "WARNOMG" in /etc/vdsm/logger.conf and "persist /etc/vdsm/logger.conf" solved it for /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log. However, /var/log/libvirtd.log also shows tons of debug messages. The file /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf shows: listen_addr="0.0.0.0" unix_sock_group="kvm" unix_sock_rw_perms="0770" auth_unix_rw="sasl" host_uuid="06304eff-1c91-4e1e-86e2-d773621dcab3" log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" ca_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem" cert_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem" key_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem" Changing log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" to "log_outputs="3:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" with persist (or unpersist first, thn persist) doesn't help. After a reboot log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" will appear again. How to decrease the log level for libvirtd? Kind regards, Winfried

Check also log_level and log_filter properties. You can cut down the logs a lot, but beware that in case something happens... You probably know. The advantage with using something on top of libvirt (oVirt for example) is that you will be probably able to reproduce libvirt problems in case there will be any and then you can switch the debugging back. For full options on logging, see http://libvirt.org/logging.html Martin

I have also libvirt logs with about 10GB of space, annoying, needs to be fixed. 2013/6/28 Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>

Please don't top-post on technical lists. However, same reply applies to you. Check your log_level and log_filters settings. I just installed fresh server and looking at the libvirtd.conf, VDSM properly configured it to have also: log_filters="1:libvirt 3:event 3:json 1:util 1:qemu" where "3:event 3:json" gets rid of a lot unnecessary messages (but beware, it depends on the order in which those directives are specified). You can also have a look at what we discussed about in Bug 920614 [1], where you might find interesting settings for that as well. There is also link to the Gerrit tracker, where the issue is tracked [2] as well. Logs should also be rotated. In case there is no logrotate daemon or no rules for it, that may be another point of failure. Martin [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/920614 [2] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/13642/
