Description Kazuo Moriwaka 2008-10-31 11:30:32 UTC 
Description of problem:


29.2 describes xen directories and logs only.

/etc/libvirt  -- libvirt configuration top dir.
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/ -- libvirtd network settings dir.
/var/log/messages -- libvirtd messages in it.

Hugh,

Are there other log files and directories which should be included for libvirt and KVM?


The location has changed too, the section from the bug is now here:

Comment 2 Kazuo Moriwaka 2009-07-03 05:15:57 UTC 
I found /var/log/libvirt/qemu/ contains logs of qemu for each VM in F11.

regards,

I've tested this. Adding it in.

Hi Chris,

Need a pointer for this
Comment 5 Christopher Curran 2009-12-14 07:04:11 UTC 
The files in /etc/libvirt are not recommended for editing. Almost every part of those files can be modified with virsh so we should not cover that directory.

/var/log/libvirt/qemu/ and /var/log/messages are covered better in build 81.
