describe our vision on it.

Log Guidelines
======================
Levels Guidelines
-----------------
During Kilo release cycle Sahara community defined the following log levels:
* Debug: Shows everything and is likely not suitable for normal production
operation due to the sheer size of logs generated (e.g. scripts executions,
process execution, etc.).
* Info: Usually indicates successful service start/stop, versions and such
non-error related data. This should include largely positive units of work
that are accomplished (e.g. service setup, cluster start, successful job
execution).
* Warning: Indicates that there might be a systemic issue;
potential predictive failure notice (e.g. job execution failed).
* Error: An error has occurred and an administrator should research the event
(e.g. cluster failed to start, plugin violations of operation).
* Critical: An error has occurred and the system might be unstable, anything
that eliminates part of Sahara's intended functionality; immediately get
administrator assistance (e.g. failed to access keystone/database, plugin
load failed).
Formatting Guidelines
----------------------
Now Sahara uses string formatting defined in `PEP 3101`_ for logs.
.. code:: python
LOG.warning(_LW("Incorrect path: {path}").format(path=path))
..
Translation Guidelines
----------------------
All log levels except Debug requires translation. None of the separate cli tools packaged
with Sahara contain log translations.
* Debug: no translation
* Info: _LI
* Warning: _LW
* Error: _LE
* Critical: _LC
.. _PEP 3101: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/
