How to Enable Debug Logging?

Debug logging provides detailed service-level information that helps you identify the root causes of issues when performing operations such as creating VMs, attaching volumes, etc. Follow these steps to enable debug logging for Compute and Persistent Storage services.

Compute

Edit the nova_override.conf file:

Path: /opt/pf9/etc/nova/conf.d/nova_override.conf

If the [DEFAULT] section does not exist, create it and add the following:

[DEFAULT]
debug = true

Restart the Compute service:

systemctl restart pf9-ostackhost

Persistent Storage

Edit the cinder_override.conffile:

Path: /opt/pf9/etc/pf9-cindervolume-base/conf.d/cinder_override.conf

If the [DEFAULT] section does not exist, create it and add the following:

[DEFAULT]
debug = true

Restart the Storage service:

systemctl restart pf9-cindervolume-base

Networking

Edit the neutron.conf file:

Path: /opt/pf9/etc/neutron/conf.d/neutron.conf

If the [DEFAULT] section does not exist, create it and add the following:

[DEFAULT]
debug = true

Restart the Neutron service

systemctl restart pf9-ostackhost

Reverting Debug Logging

Debug logging generates large log files that may consume significant disk space. Once troubleshooting is complete, revert the changes to preserve storage.

Open the respective configuration file and remove the debug = true line or set it to debug = false.

Restart the service:

systemctl restart pf9-ostackhost
