Werk #8642: Reworked logging configuration of the Check_MK Microcore

Component The Checkmk Micro Core
Title Reworked logging configuration of the Check_MK Microcore
Date Dec 1, 2016
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Enterprise (CEE)
Checkmk Version 1.4.0i3
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Incompatible - Manual interaction might be required

The logging configuration of the Check_MK Microcore has been reworked to be configured in a single setting. The log levels have been unified for all these log domains.

Thes configuration options have been deprecated:

  • cmc_log_level: Logging
  • cmc_livestatus_debug: Logging of Livestatus queries
  • cmc_debug_alerts: Logging of the alert processing in the core

The attribute log_level has been removed from cmc_log_cmk_helpers which is now only used to toggle the debug mode of the Check_MK helpers.

The new option is cmc_log_levels (Logging of the core).

The incompatibility is that, if you have configured custom log leves with the options mentioned above before, they are not effective anymore. You will have to set the log levels again using the new option.

In most cases it should be no problem that the log levels are reset, because they are mostly only used for a short time during debugging actions.
