CloudStack Logging
Hi All,
I'm running an initiative to improve CloudStack logging. I'm going to be analysing logs and re-categorising the DEBUG, INFO, WARN and ERROR where appropriate such that we can reduce the default logging level to INFO without losing important troubleshooting information, while at the same time making the management-server log far more readable for operational admins.
To achieve this I need logs to work with.
Please could anyone interested upload logs to:
https://shapeblue.brickftp.com
The logs will be treated in the strictest confidence and public download of the logs will not be available.
I'm especially interested in logs which you found particularly difficult to read or specific messages which you think are misscategorised
If you wish, put comments at the top of the logs or send a message directly or via the mailing lists pointing out specific issues.
Please compress the logs!
Kind regards,
Paul Angus

Hi Simon,
My gut says that it's probably not worth going back before 4.3. There have been large changes since then but I think that it's better to get as much data as possible, limiting to 4.6+ might not give a particularly large install base.
Kind regards,
Paul Angus

Paul,
Are you wanting for focus on logs on releases later than a particular version (e.g. 4.6)?

Good question - Any and all logs. Often, it's the mundane stuff which obscures the messages that you really need to see!

Thanks Paul. Are you looking for only logs with errors or are you just
looking for just any management server logs?

Thanks Will,
As far as I know anything sensitive is removed or obfuscated (vcenter password displayed as h**********). IP addresses and hostnames are shown.
Users may want to use a tool like SED to replace IP addresses or internal domain names

I like this initiative Paul. I just wanted to check with you. Do you know if there is any confidential information like credentials or the like that is logged in the management server log? I thought we had done a push at one point to make sure no sensitive data was logged, but I don't remember for sure. I think knowing the answer to this will help people feel more comfortable uploading logs.

Thanks Will,
As far as I know anything sensitive is removed or obfuscated (vcenter password displayed as h**********). IP addresses and hostnames are shown.
Users may want to use a tool like SED to replace IP addresses or internal domain names

I like this initiative Paul. I just wanted to check with you. Do you know if there is any confidential information like credentials or the like that is logged in the management server log? I thought we had done a push at one point to make sure no sensitive data was logged, but I don't remember for sure. I think knowing the answer to this will help people feel more comfortable uploading logs.
