Hi, We are experiencing problems with debug messages in CMPI providers with CMPI_DEV_DEBUG. When cimserver is started with logLevel=TRACE, traceLevel=5, enableHttpConnection=true traceFacility=File, traceComponents=All, these messages didn't appear in the trace file. Within Pegasus, mbEncLogMessage() (src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/ /CMPI/CMPI_BrokerEnc.cpp) is used to match CMPI severity codes to the Pegasus's Log levels. Then Pegasus::Logger::put() is called, which calls Pegasus::Logger::_putInternal(). The message is sent there to the syslog then, it's not sent to the trace. This is intentionally skipped with comment: // PEP 315 // The trace can be routed into the log. The logged trace messages are // logged with logFileType of Logger::TRACE_LOG. // To avoid a cirular writing of these messages, log messages with // logFileType of Logger::TRACE_LOG are never send to the trace. OK, it's intentional, but... In PEP 315 ([1]) I see: "For this, the Logger::TRACE and Logger::TRACE_LOG level will be used only internal for messages routed from the CIM server Tracer to the Logger." So in my opinion there's a bug - CMPI_DEV_DEBUG message gets logSeverity = Logger::TRACE; and logFileType = Logger::TRACE_LOG; in mbEncLogMessage() - it's not something internal and it doesn't make sense to have it in syslog and not in the trace file with other CMPI messages. I believe this was overlooked when PEP 315 was implemented.
