Chapter 5. Web Administration Log Levels

In Web Administration, the log messages of different components and services are logged by tendrl-node-agent. It receives all the log messages from other components via a socket and logs the messages using syslog.

tendrl-node-agent logs messages for the following Web Administration components:

Server-side Web Administration components:

  • tendrl-monitoring-integration
  • tendrl-notifier

Storage node-side Web Administration components:

  • tendrl-gluster-integration

These are the available log levels for Web Administration:

  1. DEBUG
  2. INFO
  3. WARNING
  4. ERROR (Default)
  5. CRITICAL
Note

The log levels are case-sensitive. Input the log levels in uppercase format to avoid any error messages.

To change the default log level (ERROR), follow these steps:

  1. Open the logging configuration yaml file in an editor: 

    /etc/tendrl/node-agent/node-agent_logging.yaml

  2. Change the log level by modifying all instances of level variables under handlers and root: 

    handlers:
    console:
        class: logging.StreamHandler
        level: ERROR 1
        stream: ext://sys.stdout

    info_file_handler:
        class: logging.handlers.SysLogHandler
        facility: local5
        address: /dev/log
        level: ERROR 2

root:
    level: ERROR 3
    handlers: [console, info_file_handler]
    1
    Enter new log level
    2
    Enter new log level
    3
    Enter new log level

  3. Restart the tendrl-node-agent service by: 

    # service tendrl-node-agent restart
