Bug 2120328

[sysctl]
key=?value

Is probably not a great idea.  We already have

[sysctl]
key=>value
key=<value

Let's do a per-instance warking/error disablement, something along the lines of
[sysctl_no_errors]
errors=off # or 0 or [Ff]alse, ...
key1=value1
key2=value2

Open to discussion on the exact syntax.

After spending some time to write a PoC of this, I believe I have come up with a more flexible syntax.

TuneD uses the following log levels:

Level                   Numeric value
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOG_LEVEL_CONSOLE       60      # defined by TuneD
CRITICAL                50      # unused
ERROR                   40
WARNING                 30
INFO                    20
DEBUG                   10
NOTSET                  0

Also see:

CAPTURE_LOG_LEVELS = {
                "debug": logging.DEBUG,
                "info": logging.INFO,
                "warn": logging.WARN,
                "error": logging.ERROR,
                "console": LOG_LEVEL_CONSOLE,
                "none": None,
                }

I believe that better than using "errors=on/off" would actually be to set the logging level for a plug-in instance.

For example:

[sysctl_show_no_errors]
type=sysctl
log_level=console    # show only messages with CONSOLE (and higher) priority
sysctl_does_not_exist=1
kernel.pty.max=8192

[sysctl_show_no_warnings]
type=sysctl
log_level=error      # show only messages with ERROR (and higher) priority
sysctl_does_not_exist=1
kernel.nmi_watchdog=0

At the moment, setting a log level for a plug-in sets a logging level for all instances of the same type and we do not want that.
Changes to logs.py will likely be necessary.

Issue migration from Bugzilla to Jira is in process at this time. This will be the last message in Jira copied from the Bugzilla bug.
