Logging¶

You configure logging externally to the rest of Identity. The name of the file specifying the logging configuration is set using the log_config option in the [DEFAULT] section of the keystone.conf file. To route logging through syslog, set use_syslog=true in the [DEFAULT] section.

A sample logging configuration file is available with the project in etc/logging.conf.sample. Like other OpenStack projects, Identity uses the Python logging module, which provides extensive configuration options that let you define the output levels and formats.
