How can I increase the log level of winbind or samba without restarting the services?
Issue
- I don't want to restart winbind or samba to increase the log levels.
- I need increased logging while a problem is occurring but increasing the log level through the smb.conf requires a restart of the services which can temporarily fix an issue and requires me to wait for another occurrence to get the logs I need.
- Continuous level 10 logging can cause a performance hit and fill up disk space.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8+
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 (Refer Diagnostic Steps for workaround)
- Samba >= 3
