Description of problem: The default log_outputs should be syslog Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-4.4.0-2.virtcov.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start libvirtd with default configuration 2.Check log outputs by virt-admin: # virt-admin daemon-log-outputs Logging outputs: 3:stderr 3.Confirm that journal socket exists: # file /run/systemd/journal/socket /run/systemd/journal/socket: socket Actual results: The default log output is stderr Expected results: The default log output should be syslog Additional info:
Fixed upstream by: commit 30727583aed2e4655985916556418d8e44c5d2a9 Refs: v4.10.0-152-g30727583ae Author: Erik Skultety <eskultet> AuthorDate: Thu Jan 3 14:32:36 2019 +0100 Commit: Erik Skultety <eskultet> CommitDate: Tue Jan 8 10:01:54 2019 +0100 util: Fix the default log output to 'journald' when running under systemd Essentially, bring back the old behaviour as of commit eba36a38 which was later changed by commit ae06048bf5d. Even though all the stderr messages will eventually end up in the journal, we're not making use of the fields journald provides. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1592644 Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet> Acked-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn>
