--------
For example setting up the following:
::
export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1
export LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS="1:file:virsh.log"
and then running virsh will accumulate the logs in the ``virsh.log`` file in a
way similar to:
::
14:29:04.771: debug : virInitialize:278 : register drivers
14:29:04.771: debug : virRegisterDriver:618 : registering Test as driver 0
the messages are timestamped, there is also the level recorded, if debug the
name of the function is also printed and then the formatted message. This should
be sufficient to at least get a precise idea of what is happening and where
things are going wrong, allowing to then put the correct breakpoints when
running under a debugger.
To activate full debug of the libvirt entry points, utility functions and the
QEMU/KVM driver, set:
::
log_filters="1:libvirt 1:util 1:qemu"
log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log"
in libvirtd.conf and restart the daemon will allow to gather a copious amount of
debugging traces for the operations done in those areas.
Examples with useful log settings along with more information on how to properly
configure logging for various situations can be found in the
`logging knowledge base article <kbase/debuglogs.html>`__.
