Chapter 1. Logging

Red Hat OpenStack Platform writes informational messages to specific log files; you can use these messages for troubleshooting and monitoring system events.

Note

You need not attach the individual log files to your support cases manually. All the required information will be gathered automatically by the sosreport utility, which is described in Chapter 3, Troubleshooting.

1.1.10. Object Storage (swift) Log Files
Link kopieren

OpenStack Object Storage sends logs to the system logging facility only.

Note

By default, all Object Storage log files to /var/log/swift/swift.log, using the local0, local1, and local2 syslog facilities.

The log messages of Object Storage are classified into two broad categories: those by REST API services and those by background daemons. The API service messages contain one line per API request, in a manner similar to popular HTTP servers; both the frontend (Proxy) and backend (Account, Container, Object) services post such messages. The daemon messages are less structured and typically contain human-readable information about daemons performing their periodic tasks. However, regardless of which part of Object Storage produces the message, the source identity is always at the beginning of the line.

An example of a proxy message: 

Apr 20 15:20:34 rhev-a24c-01 proxy-server: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 20/Apr/2015/19/20/34 GET /v1/AUTH_zaitcev%3Fformat%3Djson%26marker%3Dtestcont HTTP/1.0 200 - python-swiftclient-2.1.0 AUTH_tk737d6... - 2 - txc454fa8ea4844d909820a-0055355182 - 0.0162 - - 1429557634.806570053 1429557634.822791100

1.2. Configure Logging Options
Link kopieren

Each component maintains its own separate logging configuration in its respective configuration file. For example, in Compute, these options are set in /etc/nova/nova.conf:

  • Increase the level of informational logging by enabling debugging. This option greatly increases the amount of information captured, so you may want to consider using it only temporarily, or first reviewing your log rotation settings. 

    debug=True
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • Enable verbose logging: 

    verbose=True
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • Change the log file path: 

    log_dir=/var/log/nova
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • Send your logs to a central syslog server: 

    use_syslog=True
syslog_log_facility=LOG_USER
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note

Options are also available for timestamp configuration and log formatting, among others. Review the component’s configuration file for additional logging options.

1.3. Remote Logging Installation and Configuration
Link kopieren

All OpenStack services generate and update log files. These log files record actions, errors, warnings, and other events. In a distributed environment like OpenStack, collecting these logs in a central location simplifies debugging and administration.

For more information about centralized logging, see Monitoring Tools Configuration in the Advanced Overcloud Customization guide.
