RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sahina Bose 2016-07-26 12:15:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

When qemu images are accessed via gfapi, troubleshooting is an issue as there are no logs unlike with fuse access. We require logging to be implemented for this path.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NA

How reproducible:
NA

Are you saying that there are no logs at all or whatever the log is there it is not sufficient?

It would be good to have some more clarification on this bug.
Comment 2 Sahina Bose 2016-08-01 07:04:10 UTC 
No log file while accessing qemu via gfapi currently

Prasanna, can you add more details to this bug?
Comment 3 Prasanna Kumar Kalever 2016-08-01 09:25:49 UTC 
Sure sahina :)

I have put about improvement at least which I know and worked on and in qemu block layer, there were recent changes in Qemu that helps in choosing LOG LEVEL [1] and should land in RHEL-7.3.

But with current code, the qemu gfapi logs fall on stderr and there is no way to configure them for redirection (internally)

Patch [2] specifies an option for doing so, yet not part of qemu-2.7, since it was initiated at hard-freeze state, after a conversation maintainer confirms as it will not fall in bugs category couldn't make in 2.7, though it got a review.

I hope it should go in 2.8.

That's all for now.

Hi Rajesh,

I have given a devel_ack on this, if you think this BZ needs to be moved out to a different component please do that and remove the ack and tracker.

Thanks,
Atin

For logging level, see Bug 1151859
Comment 7 Sahina Bose 2016-09-14 12:12:02 UTC 
We need the ability to redirect the gfapi logs to a log file instead of stderr to ensure supportability. From RHV 4.1, images on gluster volumes will be accessed via gfapi instead of fuse using the gluster driver in qemu. This path has no logging unlike the fuse access and troubleshooting customer issues will be a major problem.
Comment 9 Jeff Cody 2016-12-21 18:57:21 UTC 
Patch to support this is in QEMU 2.8.0:

commit e9db8ff38e539260a2cb5a7918d1155b7d92a264
Author: Prasanna Kumar Kalever <prasanna.kalever>
Date:   Fri Jul 22 20:26:48 2016 +0530

    block/gluster: add support to choose libgfapi logfile
    
    currently all the libgfapi logs defaults to '/dev/stderr' as it was hardcoded
    in a call to glfs logging api. When the debug level is chosen to DEBUG/TRACE,
    gfapi logs will be huge and fill/overflow the console view.
    
    This patch provides a commandline option to mention log file path which helps
    in logging to the specified file and also help in persisting the gfapi logs.
Comment 14 Suqin Huang 2017-03-03 09:17:24 UTC 
1. package version
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-5.el7.x86_64

2. boot guest with 
-drive id=drive_image2,if=none,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=gluster://bootp-73-130-253.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com/gv0/stg1.qcow2,file.debug=1,file.logfile=/var/qemu-gfapi.log \

3. get debug log from /var/qemu-gfapi.log

4. boot guest with 
file.debug=10,file.logfile=/var/qemu-gfapi.log \

I can get debug log as well, but the debug level should between 0~9

Hi Jeff,

Could you check the test result, is it acceptable that debug log is generated when debug level is out of (0~9)

Thanks
Suqin

Yes, that is acceptable.  Higher numbers are increasing verbosity; a level of 9 is the maximum level, so debug levels passed higher than 9 will be equivalent to 9.
