Description Jan Friesse 2014-11-13 09:24:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently, pcs generated config file doesn't contain logging to log file and only logging to syslog is configured. This is suboptimal, because both journald and syslogd has tendency to throw out messages what makes /var/log/messages unusable. 

Also there is no possibility to turn on debugging (debug or trace) using pcs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.135

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate corosync.conf using pcs

Actual results:

corosync.conf:
...
logging {                                                                       
  to_syslog: yes                                                                
} 
...

Expected results:

...
logging {
        to_logfile: yes
        logfile: /var/log/cluster/corosync.log
        to_syslog: yes
}
...
