Description Chris Duryee 2018-05-11 19:49:08 UTC

Description of problem:

It is sometimes useful to see what data sub-man is POSTing up to candlepin. However, if you enable debug-level logging in /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, you'll just see two lines related to the POST. For example:

2018-05-11 19:30:08,303 [DEBUG] subscription-manager:16862:MainThread @connection.py:543 - Making request: POST /subscription/consumers?owner=5894300                                                                                                                                    
2018-05-11 19:30:10,515 [INFO] subscription-manager:16862:MainThread @connection.py:586 - Response: status=200, requestUuid=d79b1f15-c84a-4d19-b58c-16b79137f268, request="POST /subscription/consumers?owner=5894300"      

It would be more useful if the request body was logged as well. This makes it easier to replicate the call when working on issues.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.20


How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. set the following in rhsm.conf:
[logging]
default_log_level = DEBUG
rhsm.connection = DEBUG

2. do a register
3. view rhsm.log

Actual results: you'll see the URLs called, but POSTs do not show the request body.


Expected results: the request body should be logged at debug level
