Nevertheless, this is a very good idea.<br>

One thing that the OpenStack projects can do to help with logging<br>
would be to cleanup the log messages in all of the projects such that<br>
they provide useful information to someone that was aggregating all of<br>
the logs as you describe. Last time I checked, there was lots of work<br>
to be done there.<br>

Alternately, create a VM for logging on the host nodes, a nova-log-vm, a quantum-log-vm .. and log to that for the respective openstack service. Needs more thought.<br>
