Open Stack

Hi Cristian,

The functionality already exists within Openstack (certainly it's there in Nova) it's just not very well documented (something I keep meaning to do!)

Basically you need to add the following to your nova.conf file:

log_config=/etc/nova/logging.conf

And then create /etc/nova/logging.conf with the configuration you want to use based on the Python Logging Module's "ini" configuration format.

Hope that helps,

Matt
