Description Julie Pichon 2013-11-13 14:21:49 UTC

Description of problem:

Based on the discussion in bug 976279 especially comment 3, it would be useful if Cinder could offer an API for the user to understand why a volume ended up in an error state, e.g. not enough space (cf. bug 976279), attachment failure (cf. bug 981418), etc. This would enable front-ends like Horizon to provide more useful information to the user in case of failure / error.

Additional info:

This upstream blueprint may also be relevant: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/return-error-messages-to-horizon

See current Telemetry & Nagios Logging, Monitoring and Troubleshooting guide [1] we have also introduced in OSP7 several operational tools in tech-preview that include: centralized logging tools such as Fluentd, ElasticSearch & Kibana [2]
