Sometimes, when we encounter with a problem, we need to set libvirtd log level to DEBUG to dig detailed information. But changing log level requires us to *restart* libvirtd. 1) #vim /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf log_level = 1 2) *service libvirtd restart* We think that it makes sense to develop an API to *online* change log level, without restarting libvirtd. What's your opinion? If it's necessary, I'd like to post a patch here.
