Description Taft Sanders 2021-12-06 18:11:48 UTC

Description of problem:
When adding the option 'candlepin.consumer.facts.match_regex' /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf we see all facts that are being excluded logged as WARN. Since this option is not included in the candlepin.conf file by default and it is manually being placed here, I do not believe the exclusions should be or a WARN type. Since this option is also used to exclude systems facts on hosts where the number of these facts are causing long queries or a lot of system resource usage, I believe these should be logged as DEBUG level in the logs to limit the unnecessary logging of INFO+.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
candlepin-3.1.28-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add regex exclusion to the candlepin.conf file for host facts and watch the logs for the matches to appear as WARN level.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Candlepin log files increase in size 3-4x 

Expected results:
This logging should be set on the level of DEBUG as this is an optional parameter to add for systems with a lot of facts.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Ladislav Vasina 2022-06-14 10:44:19 UTC

If debug option is enabled correct message with level:DEBUG will appear:
ie.:
DEBUG org.candlepin.resource.ConsumerResource - Consumer fact "system.certificate_version" does not match pattern "XXX"

VERIFIED with candlepin-4.1.13-1.el8sat.noarch
