Re: [Rdo-list] libvirtd default configuration

Even though the configuration looks empty, the *default* log_level is 3, i.e. warnings and errors, this is redirected to systemd journal (on systems that are run systemd, and to syslog on older systems). You can notice this when you invoke: $ systemctl status libvirtd libvirtd.service - Virtualization daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2014-02-05 22:45:05 IST; 11s ago Main PID: 32521 (libvirtd) CGroup: /system.slice/libvirtd.service ├─ 821 /sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf └─32521 /usr/sbin/libvirtd Feb 05 22:45:05 foohost.com systemd[1]: Started Virtualization daemon.

To log _everything_ (this spews LOTS of details, fills up your disk), add these log_level = 1 log_outputs = 1:file:/var/tmp/libvirtd.log to /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, restart libvirtd. - Alternatively, you can set environment variables (if set, this will take precedence over values specified in the configuration file): $ export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 $ export LIBVIRT_TRACE=1 More extensive details on logging filters are available here: http://libvirt.org/logging.html -- /kashyap
