Chmouel:

We can do that now, if the request meets certain criteria:

We need to know or be shown you have exhausted all ability to reproduce
the error locally. We had a request to hold a vm for someone last week,
it turns out they didn't know how to read the logs.

We need the id number of the node, line 3 of the console output of the
job in question. We actually did this today for Kyle Mestery:
2015-02-24T20:52:52  <mestery> fungi clarkb: Any chance you can save the
VM from this job (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/158076/) for me? I'm
trying to debug a gate issue with ODL in the gate and live debug would
be immensly helpful.
http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-infra/%23openstack-infra.2015-02-24.log

We need this to be an extreme circumstance only, not "I'm too lazy to
look at the logs that are currently provided". Not saying you do that
Chmouel but for other readers.

If folks need help finding errors in the logs, do ask in #openstack-dev
or #openstack-infra, it is easier for us to help you learn to read what
is already publicly available than to hold a node for you.

Thanks,
Anita.
