Defining environment variables for debug log-level and log-file will avoid specifying the same in each virsh command. Following is a patchset for enabling env variable support for virsh logging.
Two new environment variables are defined:
a. VIRSH_DEBUG=<log_level> log_level can be a value between 0 - 4, where 0 -> "ERROR" 1 -> "WARNING" 2 -> "NOTICE" 3 -> "INFO" 4 -> "DEBUG"
b. VIRSH_LOG_FILE=<logfile-path-and-name> logfile-path-and-name is the name and complete path for the log file.
The above two variables are independent. if log_level is specified without setting a log file name, then, logs will be displayed in stdio. If logfile-path-and-name specified without setting log_level, then, default log_level (DEBUG) will be used to log to the specified file.
Seems reasonable to me. I'm now in the middle of reviewing the patch set. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
