log: enhance gluster log format with message ID and standardize errno reporting
Currently there are quite a slew of logs in Gluster that do not lend themselves to trivial analysis by various tools that help collect and monitor logs, due to the textual nature of the logs. This FEAT is to make this better by giving logs message IDs so that the tools do not have to do complex log parsing to break it down to problem areas and suggest troubleshooting options. With this patch, a new set of logging APIs are introduced that take additionally a message ID and an error number, so as to print the message ID and the descriptive string for the error. New APIs: - gf_msg, gf_msg_debug/trace, gf_msg_nomem, gf_msg_callingfn These APIs follow the functionality of the previous gf_log* counterparts, and hence are 1:1 replacements, with the delta that, gf_msg, gf_msg_callingfn take additional parameters as specified above. Defining the log messages: Each invocation of gf_msg/gf_msg_callingfn, should provide an ID and an errnum (if available). Towards this, a common message id file is provided, which contains defines to various messages and their respective strings. As other messages are changed to the new infrastructure APIs, it is intended that this file is edited to add these messages as well. Framework enhanced: The logging framework is also enhanced to be able to support different logging backends in the future. Hence new configuration options for logging framework and logging formats are introduced. Backward compatibility: Currently the framework supports logging in the traditional format, with the inclusion of an error string based on the errnum passed in. Hence the shift to these new APIs would retain the log file names, locations, and format with the exception of an additional error string where applicable. Testing done: Tested the new APIs with different messages in normal code paths Tested with configurations set to gluster logs (syslog pending) Tested nomem variants, inducing the message in normal code paths Tested ident generation for normal code paths (other paths pending) Tested with sample gfapi program for gfapi messages Test code is stripped from the commit Pending work (not to be addressed in this patch (future)): - Logging framework should be configurable - Logging format should be configurable - Once all messages move to the new APIs deprecate/delete older APIs to prevent misuse/abuse using the same - Repeated log messages should be suppressed (as a configurable option) - Logging framework assumes that only one init is possible, but there is no protection around the same (in existing code) - gf_log_fini is not invoked anywhere and does very little cleanup (in existing code) - DOxygen comments to message id headers for each message Change-Id: Ia043fda99a1c6cf7817517ef9e279bfcf35dcc24 BUG: 1075611 Signed-off-by: ShyamsundarR <srangana@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/6547 Reviewed-by: Krutika Dhananjay <kdhananj@redhat.com> Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Raghavendra G <rgowdapp@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Pranith Kumar Karampuri <pkarampu@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Vijay Bellur <vbellur@redhat.com>
