Doc Text:	In the previous release, logging went to both syslog AND to file if syslog was enabled in the Compute configuration. This double logging was a result of the initscripts of the various components including a '--logfile $logfile'. The --logfile argument has now been removed from Compute service scripts and the default log file used. Logging is no longer doubled when syslog is enabled. Additionally, the default log files have been renamed to nova-{service_name}.log (for example, from {log_dir}/compute.log to {log_dir}/nova-compute.log).	Story Points:	---

Description robert.vanleeuwen 2013-05-22 11:09:26 UTC

Description of problem:
Double logging when using syslog; 

Doubled logging when configuring syslog: logging will go to syslog AND to file.

The initscripts of the various components include a --logfile $logfile
This will always turn on logging to file even if syslog is setup in the nova config.

Note that this bug is a duplicate of the bugreport in EPEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892626

I recreate this report since RDO is split of from the EPEL version (and that nothing happened with that bugreport)

I think there is no specify the logfile in the service script. Vladan, could you change this in the nova service scripts while doing the next build?

--logfile is specified in each service script so they have separate log files.

If you want to remove --logfile, then each service will need separate dist-conf file?

Answering to myself: not needed, if log_dir is set (and it is in nova-dist.conf), log_file not set, default logfile will be take from the binary filename (see _get_binary_name and _get_log_file_path in oslo log.py)
