@Divya K Konoor (dikonoor): This sounds more like a change request than an actual bug. Change requests are done via "blueprints" in Launchpad [1] and their design get reviewed in "spec files" in Gerrit [2]. The process is described in [3]. The current "Liberty" cycle has reached "feature freeze" [4], this means you can propose this change for the next "Mitaka" release and use [5] for that. Since I consider this not a bug, I close it and ask you do create a blueprint. Maybe Arun Mani can help you with the implementation of the blueprint.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478546 Title: nova GMR doesn't provide option to specify log_dir path Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Bug description: oslo_report https://github.com/openstack/oslo.reports/blob/master/oslo_reports/guru_meditation_report.py#L109 gives a provision to specify a log directory that could be used to save GMR when user sends signal to a processes. When the log_dir is not specified, the report gets dumped into stderr . Currently, nova (and other services that support GMR) doesn't have a provision to specify a log dir . Due to this, GMR gets dumped to stderr and often gets lost along with thousands of other log statements. As GMR is used primarily for debug purposes, it makes a lot of sense to have a separate file/directory that captures the report . This way, it's also much easier to share the output of GMR and keep it archived for later reference if required. This problem can be fixed by providing a new section in the respective service conf files something like the below: [oslo_report] log_dir = /home/abc/gmr To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1478546/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : yahoo-eng-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
