Hi, The cirros cloud images[1] appear to run a bunch of useful commands, and log them to the nova console.log -- /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-foo/console.log by default. It was very useful for debugging. The file size is just about 16K , and there is no considerable performance impact either. IMHO, we could do the same for Fedora cloud images -- which currently do not log any info to console.log -- by default. it'll be useful troubleshoot networking and other boot related problems. Enumerating the list of commands cirros runs for reference: $ /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start $ ifconfig -a $ route -n $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # pinging nameservers $ uname -a $ dmesg | tail $ tail -n 25 /var/log/messages Thoughts ?
