Open Stack

There is an interesting proposal developing as part of https://review.openstack.org/460112 which it would be great to get more feedback on from other operators.

My view is that OpenStack would benefit greatly from a troubleshooting guide. I remember my days with AIX (long ago) when a guide had the classic IBM information on “if you get this, this is why, you need to check this and here is how to fix it”.

Developing a framework for every message to have an ID would be a significant change and would require major investment of effort.

The proposal outlined in that we use the Python Exception framework to have the Exception Name as the basis for trouble shooting and googling for errors. While there is no guarantee of uniqueness, this gives a basis for developing the appropriate guides.

Feel free to provide your input on the review,
Tim

    Hi,
    
    I have been working on the concept of fault management blueprint to increase cloud resiliency. As part of this proposal, info such as logs, KPIs, health checks and so on are critical since we are engaging in deep data analysis and machine learning.

One approach is to have meaningful logs where by parsing the data we can make real time fault management decisions.

    Subject: [Openstack-operators] looking for feedback on proposals to improve logging
    
    I am looking for some feedback on two new proposals to add IDs to log messages. Please see the thread on openstack-dev, and comment there or on the specs referenced there.
