OpenVSwitchLogs - files ovsdb-server.log
and ovs_vswitchd.log
A standard log file reader for logs written by OpenVSwitch.
The logs have a standard format:
2016-03-08T02:10:01.155Z|01417|vlog|INFO|opened log file /var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log
2016-03-08T02:20:05.425Z|01418|connmgr|INFO|br0<->unix: 1 flow_mods in the last 0 s (1 adds)
2016-03-08T02:20:10.160Z|01419|connmgr|INFO|br0<->unix: 1 flow_mods in the last 0 s (1 deletes)
2016-03-08T11:30:52.206Z|00013|fatal_signal|WARN|terminating with signal 15 (Terminated)
The get
method breaks up log lines on the bar character (‘|’) into the
following fields:
timestamp - the UTC time stamp
sequence - the sequence number of this message
module - the module in OpenVSwitch that emitted this error
level - the level of error (INFO, WARN, ERROR)
message - the rest of the message.
Each line of the resultant list is a dictionary with those fields.
Examples
>>> vswlog = shared[OVSDB_Server_Log]
>>> 'fatal_signal' in vswlog
True
>>> vswlog.get('fatal_signal')
[{'timestamp': '2016-03-08T11:30:52.206Z', 'sequence': '00013',

'raw_message': '2016-03-08T11:30:52.206Z|00013|fatal_signal|WARN|terminating with signal 15 (Terminated)']

for more usage information.- time_format = '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S'
The timestamp format assumed for the log files. A subclass can override this for files that have a different timestamp format. This can be:
A string in strptime() format.
A list of strptime() strings.
A dictionary with each item’s value being a strptime() string. This allows the item keys to provide some form of documentation.
A None value when there is no timestamp info in the log file
