RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 David Jaša 2012-02-19 14:28:44 UTC 
Raising priority - I'm getting issues that are hard to trace without this being implemented.
Comment 2 David Blechter 2012-03-01 13:19:42 UTC 
debugging capability is not a High High especially on the devel list. It is up to PM to decide.

Also moving to 6.4 due to the not being acked by PM, and there are 3 days left for 6.3 code freeze.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:49:33 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:02:25 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 6 Hans de Goede 2012-08-26 11:45:55 UTC 
git master has been converted to using syslog for logging, and comes with an rsyslog.conf file to log high precision timestamps and severity levels, see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent for details.

You can find the new rsyslog generated logfile under /var/log/spice-vdagent.log, this file contain the log messages from both the system wide daemion, as well as those from the per user X-session  processes.

To make the system-level daemon more verbose, create a /etc/sysconfig/spice-vdagentd file, with the following line in there:
SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS=-d
To also log each agent mouse event, make that:
SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS=-dd

To make the per user session process log more, kill it and from a terminal do:
"spice-vdagent -d"
Comment 7 Hans de Goede 2012-09-01 18:52:49 UTC 
This is fixed in spice-vdagent-0.12.0-1.el6. moving to modified.
