[Bug 1459046] Re: [SRU] nova-* services do not start if rsyslog is not yet started

[Brian Murray]

Hello Liang, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nova into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/1:2014.1.5-0ubuntu1.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * 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]

   * Configure nova with use_syslog=True in nova.conf, stop rsyslog service and
     restart nova services. Check that upstart nova logs to see retries 
     occurring then start rsyslog and observe connection succeed and 
     nova-compute startup.

  [Regression Potential]

   * None
