Description of problem: After set log_level = 1 in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, libvirtd.log files increased to 29G only in 2 days while I didn't do much libvirt operation on that host. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - libvirt-0.8.7-10.el6.x86_64 log_outputs="1:file:/tmp/libvirtd.log" How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf log_level = 1 log_outputs="1:file:/tmp/libvirtd.log" Actual results: In 2 days, libvirtd.log increased to 29G Expected results: Don't increase so hugely Additional info:
Per IRC talking with jdenemar, it is expected behaviour since having virt-manager running means that you actually do a lot with libvirt. Every second or so virt-manager tries to get update on domains status. So close this as not a bug.
As a further note, setting log_debug=1 is almost *never* the right thing todo. You are always better off selectively enabled just the debug areas you want, eg log_filters="1:qemu 1:security 1:util" log_outputs="1:file:/some/file.log"
