Logging settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Networking components use Python logging module to do logging. Logging
configuration can be provided in ``neutron.conf`` or as command-line
options. Command options override ones in ``neutron.conf``.
To configure logging for Networking components, use one of these
methods:
- Provide logging settings in a logging configuration file.
See `Python logging
how-to <https://docs.python.org/howto/logging.html>`__ to learn more
about logging.
- Provide logging setting in ``neutron.conf``.
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
# Default log level is WARNING
# Show debugging output in logs (sets DEBUG log level output)
# debug = False
# log_date_format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
# use_syslog = False
# syslog_log_facility = LOG_USER
# if use_syslog is False, we can set log_file and log_dir.
# if use_syslog is False and we do not set log_file,
# the log will be printed to stdout.
# log_file =
# log_dir =
Notifications
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notifications can be sent when Networking resources such as network,
subnet and port are created, updated or deleted.
Notification options
--------------------
To support DHCP agent, ``rpc_notifier`` driver must be set. To set up the
notification, edit notification options in ``neutron.conf``:
.. code-block:: ini
# Driver or drivers to handle sending notifications. (multi
# valued)
# notification_driver=messagingv2
# AMQP topic used for OpenStack notifications. (list value)
# Deprecated group/name - [rpc_notifier2]/topics
notification_topics = notifications

Logging and RPC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These options configure the Networking server to send notifications
through logging and RPC. The logging options are described in OpenStack
Configuration Reference . RPC notifications go to ``notifications.info``
queue bound to a topic exchange defined by ``control_exchange`` in
``neutron.conf``.
**Notification System Options**
A notification can be sent when a network, subnet, or port is created,
updated or deleted. The notification system options are:
* ``notification_driver``
Defines the driver or drivers to handle the sending of a notification.
The six available options are:
* ``messaging``
Send notifications using the 1.0 message format.
* ``messagingv2``
Send notifications using the 2.0 message format (with a message
envelope).
* ``routing``
Configurable routing notifier (by priority or event_type).
* ``log``
Publish notifications using Python logging infrastructure.
* ``test``
Store notifications in memory for test verification.
* ``noop``
Disable sending notifications entirely.
* ``default_notification_level``
Is used to form topic names or to set a logging level.
* ``default_publisher_id``
Is a part of the notification payload.
* ``notification_topics``
AMQP topic used for OpenStack notifications. They can be comma-separated
values. The actual topic names will be the values of
``default_notification_level``.
* ``control_exchange``
This is an option defined in oslo.messaging. It is the default exchange
under which topics are scoped. May be overridden by an exchange name
specified in the ``transport_url`` option. It is a string value.
Below is a sample ``neutron.conf`` configuration file:
.. code-block:: ini
notification_driver = messagingv2
default_notification_level = INFO
host = myhost.com
default_publisher_id = $host
notification_topics = notifications
control_exchange = openstack
