Description Adam Kaplan 2020-02-27 20:39:41 UTC

Description of problem:

The log level for the image registry operator is static and set at a relatively high level (0). This cannot be changed without using a CVO override [1] or scaling the CVO deployment to 0.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.0


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Increase the log Level of the image registry operator config to 5 (i.e. debug)
2. Tail the logs of the cluster image registry operator

Actual results:

Only high level info logs, warnings, and errors are logged


Expected results:

Debug messages are logged.

Comment 2 Ricardo Maraschini 2020-05-26 15:02:23 UTC

After some discussions we have decided to move this to the next version. We have been living with this behavior for a while and to introduce a fix for it in 4.5 involve risks we are not willing to take so close to code freeze. This one requires changes on openshift/api as well as in image registry operator, we have to be careful with how we gonna tackle backward compatibility and that increases the risk.

Comment 6 Ricardo Maraschini 2020-08-21 12:35:07 UTC

Fix for this one is awaiting for review/approval.

Comment 9 Wenjing Zheng 2020-09-11 10:20:04 UTC

QE can see image registry to debug log level on 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-09-10-195619.
