Doc Text:	Docker used journald backend rolls over logs based on size. This resulted in the deletion of some of the older OpenDaylight logs. This issue has been resolved by moving to logging to file instead of console where log file size and rollover can be managed by OpenDaylight. As a result, older logs are persistent for a longer duration than before.	Story Points:	---

Description Janki 2018-07-03 11:49:52 UTC

Description of problem:
ODL currently logs to console and the logs are available on overcloud nodes via docker logs. Sometimes, older logs are deleted due to journal rollover. This can make debugging difficult with incomplete logs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OSP13-Oxygen

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy OSP13+ODL
2. Create some resources, keep the deployment running
3. Check for older logs after 2 days generally

Actual results:
Logs from 2 days before are gone

Expected results:
Logs from the start of the ODL container should persist.

To verify:

Ensure there are karaf log files at /var/log/containers/opendaylight/. There would be 2 files each with 10GB size. Once karaf.log is of 10GB in size, karfa.log.1 will be created. Once its 10GB in size, content in karaf.log will be over-written.
