** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
-  * Nova services fail to start because they cannot connect to rsyslog
+  * If Nova services are configured to log to syslog (use_syslog=True) they will
+    currently fail with ECONNREFUSED if they cannot connect to syslog. This patch
+    adds support for allowing nova to retry connecting a configurable number of
+    times before print an error message and continuing with startup.
  
  [Test Case]
  
-  * Set user_syslog to True in nova.conf, stop rsyslog service and
- restart nova services.
+  * Configure nova with use_syslog=True in nova.conf, stop rsyslog service and
+    restart nova services. Check that upstart nova logs to see retries occuring
+    then start rsyslog and observe connection succeed and nova-compute startup.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
   * None

- When nova services log to syslog, we should make sure the dependency on the upstart jobs is set prior to the nova-* services start.
