[Bug 458001] Re: LOGLEVEL in eucalyptus.conf doesn't affect cloud-output.log verbosity

[Dustin Kirkland]

I tested the package in Mathias's PPA.

It seems to work well.

However, I had to reboot the system to get the loglevel changes to take
effect.  I need to research a little more closely exactly which upstart
jobs need to be restarted

** Description changed:

  eucalyptus 1.6~bzr931-0ubuntu7, UEC Cluster install from 20091020.3
  In an effort to set saner production-oriented default log levels, I tried to change LOGLEVEL from DEBUG et ERROR in /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf.
  I still get INFO and DEBUG type messages in /var/log/eucalyptus/cloud-*.log.
  
- ==================
+ ===========
  SRU Verification
+  1) Watch log file
+   * tail -f /var/log/eucalyptus/cloud-output.log
+  2) Modify the log level configuration
+   * sudo -i "s/^LOGLEVEL=.*/LOGLEVEL=ERROR/" /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf
+  3) Restart Eucalyptus
+   * sudo restart eucalyptus
+  4) Check the log, making sure that new INFO messages are not appended.
  
- Impact:
- The logging level of most components are set to debug which is too verbose for a production setup in a release.
- 
- How the bug has been addressed:
- The init script has been modified to use the LOGLEVEL option from the configuration file when starting the daemons.
- 
- To reproduce the bug:
- 1. Install a CC.
- 2. Check the verbosity level in  /var/log/eucalyptus/cloud-*.log. There should be message of INFO and DEBUG level.
- 3. After the upgrade, edit  /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf to set LOGLEVEL to ERROR and restart the CC. There shouldn't be any messages of INFO or DEBUG level in /var/log/eucalyptus/cloud-*.log anymore.
- 
- Regression potential:
- The actual log levels are not changed by the update. Only local modifications of the LOG level will be taken into account. The default level are still set to DEBUG.
- 
- ==================
+ Regression Potential
+ This will need to be tested thoroughly to ensure that we do not discard wanted log messages.
