oVirt gerrit 55668 0 master NEW engine-log-collector: warn users if collecting logs from all hosts 2016-04-04 15:47:13 UTC

Description Yaniv Lavi 2015-12-31 12:53:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
Log collector doesn't require any filters. In a scale environment this can mean hours of log collection and big output size. We should warn the user when doing this.
Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-05-02 10:01:46 UTC 
Moving from 4.0 alpha to 4.0 beta since 4.0 alpha has been already released and bug is not ON_QA.
