The point of this document is to bring together a set of common guidelines that we can all agree upon, to make logging across all the OpenStack services as consistent as possible.
Some common principles:
Every inbound WSGI should get logged exactly once. It should be logged with enough information that the operation the user was attempting can be reconstructed.
Current Issues:
Everything at INFO level or above should be relevant to Operators, which means it should describe in abstract terms what is going on on. Referencing internal function names is not useful:
2014-01-26 15:35:07.158 INFO nova.virt.libvirt.firewall [req-88cce8e9-dd2a-4f87-adc7-4ce2f527ba6e AggregatesAdminTestXML-1384929043 AggregatesAdminTestXML-1314829414] [instance: 6e017b40-d5bc-442b-ac0a-6784efe8a70b] Called setup_basic_filtering in nwfilter
Third party libraries which use the Info level should have their default logging levels set to WARN. It is not useful to an Operator to know that a new item was added to a connection pool (thanks request lib!).
Currently proposed settings for 3rd party libraries:
Eventlet.wsgi
otherwise you get the following after every request
2014-01-26 16:27:29.263 21034 INFO eventlet.wsgi.server [-] (21034) accepted ('127.0.0.1', 59064)
Good:

This is incredible overshare, in normal operating it means all these messages just need to be thrown away.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2031163/when-to-use-log-level-warn-vs-error This is a nice writeup about when to use each log level. Here is a brief description:
Many deployers want to have logs written in their native language (either exclusively, or in addition to the English logs). On the other hand, many deployers do not care about this and translating log messages introduces a lot of work for the I18nTeam team. To balance those requirements, during the icehouse release cycle the gettextutils module in Oslo was updated to provide functions for marking log messages at different verbosity levels so they appear in different message catalogs. That allows the translators to prioritize their work based on the type of messages their deployers need to have translated.
Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-translation-domain
Code: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/oslo-incubator/tree/openstack/common/gettextutils.py#n86
The implementation of gettextutils moved to oslo.i18n during Juno. Please refer to the oslo.i18n documentation for the current guidelines: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.i18n/index.html
