Logging
=======
.. note:: TODO(shade) This document is written from a shade POV. It needs to
be combined with the existing logging guide, but also the logging
systems need to be rationalized.
`openstacksdk` uses `Python Logging`_. As `openstacksdk` is a library, it does
not configure logging handlers automatically, expecting instead for that to be
the purview of the consuming application.
Simple Usage
------------
For consumers who just want to get a basic logging setup without thinking
about it too deeply, there is a helper method. If used, it should be called
before any other `shade` functionality.
.. code-block:: python
import openstack.cloud
openstack.cloud.simple_logging()
`openstack.cloud.simple_logging` takes two optional boolean arguments:
debug
Turns on debug logging.
http_debug
Turns on debug logging as well as debug logging of the underlying HTTP calls.
`openstack.cloud.simple_logging` also sets up a few other loggers and
squelches some warnings or log messages that are otherwise uninteresting or
unactionable by a `openstack.cloud` user.
Advanced Usage
--------------
`openstack.cloud` logs to a set of different named loggers.
Most of the logging is set up to log to the root `openstack.cloud` logger.
There are additional sub-loggers that are used at times, primarily so that a
user can decide to turn on or off a specific type of logging. They are listed
below.
openstack.task_manager
`openstack.cloud` uses a Task Manager to perform remote calls. The
`openstack.cloud.task_manager` logger emits messages at the start and end
of each Task announcing what it is going to run and then what it ran and
how long it took. Logging `openstack.cloud.task_manager` is a good way to
get a trace of external actions `openstack.cloud` is taking without full
`HTTP Tracing`_.
openstack.cloud.exc
If `log_inner_exceptions` is set to True, `shade` will emit any wrapped
exception to the `openstack.cloud.exc` logger. Wrapped exceptions are usually
considered implementation details, but can be useful for debugging problems.
openstack.iterate_timeout
When `shade` needs to poll a resource, it does so in a loop that waits
between iterations and ultimately timesout. The
`openstack.iterate_timeout` logger emits messages for each iteration
indicating it is waiting and for how long. These can be useful to see for
long running tasks so that one can know things are not stuck, but can also
be noisy.
openstack.cloud.http
`shade` will sometimes log additional information about HTTP interactions
to the `openstack.cloud.http` logger. This can be verbose, as it sometimes
logs entire response bodies.
openstack.cloud.fnmatch
`shade` will try to use `fnmatch`_ on given `name_or_id` arguments. It's a
best effort attempt, so pattern misses are logged to
`openstack.cloud.fnmatch`. A user may not be intending to use an fnmatch
pattern - such as if they are trying to find an image named
``Fedora 24 [official]``, so these messages are logged separately.
.. _fnmatch: https://pymotw.com/2/fnmatch/
HTTP Tracing
------------
HTTP Interactions are handled by `keystoneauth`. If you want to enable HTTP
tracing while using `shade` and are not using `openstack.cloud.simple_logging`,
set the log level of the `keystoneauth` logger to `DEBUG`.
Python Logging
--------------
Python logging is a standard feature of Python and is documented fully in the
Python Documentation, which varies by version of Python.
