Hi,<br>
<br>
Ken'ichi Omichi submitted a change [1] in devstack to change the
default log level to 1 for libvirt. This results in continual spam
to /var/log/messages in my development system, even after exiting
devstack. The spam looks like:<br>

in a continual loop<br>
<br>
I submitted a change [2] that sets the default to level 2 (info +
warnings + errors) which was -1'ed by Sean Dague. 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>
