This results in continual spam to /var/log/messages in my development system, even after exiting devstack.

His suggestion was to take the discussion upstream so consensus around what the default should be can be made so this doesn't end up getting changed every week.<br /><br /> The core mission of devstack is to provide a development environment for developers. The fact that it is being used in the gate seems somewhat ancillary to it's mission, and forcing a default of "spam the system logs with tons of libvirt messages" seems counter to the core mission of devstack. As is, without modification devstack makes looking at anything useful in my system logs impossible without grep -v libvirt and is intrusive to developer's workstations.<br /><br /> [1] <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/63992/"> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/63992/</a><br /> [2] <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/66630/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/66630/</a></blockquote>
Why not just make this a shell variable/localrc option that defaults to the original and have the gate jobs set it to debug?<br /><br /> -David<br /><br /><!-- html ignored --></blockquote>
<p>+1. It sounds like we want different behavior for developers and the gate, so having it configurable makes sense to me.</p>
