Description of problem: On RHEL 6 it was possible to do something like this to enable verbose qemu-ga logging: LOGFILE="/path/log --verbose" With RHEL 7 such a trick is not possible and there's no way to enable verbose logging (expect by manually editing the .service file which isn't the greatest idea). Please make it possible to enable qemu-qa verbose logging via a configuration mechanism. This is crucial when, e.g., investigating whether filesystems are getting frozen as expected.
When switching to rhel7, the package config changed. Tbh, I think the jounal is a lot more powerful than just redirecting to a seperate file, but you may configure it that way now: cat /etc/qemu-ga/qemu-ga.conf [general] blacklist=guest-info verbose=1 logfile=/path/log With that, I think we can close this bug. Reopen if anything is missing.
Right, I was actually testing on RHEL 7.2 where the configuration file doesn't work but on RHEL 7.3 Beta this can be done as you showed above. Thanks!
