Open Stack

Back at the beginning of the cycle, I pushed for the idea of doing some
log harmonization, so that the OpenStack logs, across services, made
sense. I've pushed a proposed changes to Nova and Keystone over the past
couple of days.

This is going to be a long process, so right now I want to just focus on
making INFO level sane, because as someone that spends a lot of time
staring at logs in test failures, I can tell you it currently isn't.

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LoggingStandards is a few things I've
written down so far, comments welcomed.

We kind of need to solve this set of recommendations once and for all up
front, because negotiating each change, with each project, isn't going
to work (e.g - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/69218/)

What I'd like to find out now:

1) who's interested in this topic?
2) who's interested in helping flesh out the guidelines for various log
levels?
3) who's interested in helping get these kinds of patches into various
projects in OpenStack?
4) which projects are interested in participating (i.e. interested in
prioritizing landing these kinds of UX improvements)

This is going to be progressive and iterative. And will require lots of
folks involved.
