Description Lucy Bopf 2016-03-14 12:39:50 UTC
The following items must be addressed in Section 17.3, 'SPICE Log Files':

* In 'Table 17.3. SPICE Logs for Hypervisor SPICE Servers', make it clearer where the user should run 'export SPICE_DEBUG_LEVEL=5'. This variable is parsed by spice-server(qemu). If we make it system-wide all VMs will print debug info. Moreover, if cluster has a few hosts/hypervisors, it is necessary repeat on each host system.

* In 'Table 17.5. SPICE Logs for Client Machines (Browser Plug-ins)', remove "/home" from "~/home/.spicec/spice-xpi.log" (because '~' means home)

* Remove entry for 'USB Redirector on Windows Client' from Table 17.5.

* Update the description for Step 2 of '17.3.4. SPICE Logs for SPICE Clients Launched Using console.vv Files' (for Linux machines). The command shown does not show you to view logs, but how to run SPICE client (remote-viewer) with the debug parameter from the command line, accepting a .vv file (compared to Step 1 where it connects using a spice://host:port).

* In '17.3.4 SPICE Logs for SPICE Clients Launched Using console.vv Files', consider adding that when run from spice-xpi, by default, remote-client log messages go to /var/log/messages (see /usr/libexec/spice-xpi-client-remote-viewer).

* `Download the debug-helper.exe file' - clarify where this file comes from.

* Verify that the log file locations in '17.4. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Host Log Files' are correct. No such log files when tested against vdsm-4.17.14-0.el7ev.noarch.
