1. Create new environment (Ubuntu, HA)
2. Choose GRE segmentation
3. Choose Ceph for images
4. Add 3 controllers, compute, cinder, 2 ceph nodes
5. Start deployment. It was successful
6. heat-engine logs for controllers is empty on UI (see screen)
7. But heat-engine logs in /var/log/remote/node-* is not empty

Response in firebug:
{"has_more": false, "to": 1639, "entries": []}

Also in other deployment ceilometer-agent-central.log and ceilometer-alarm-evaluator.log is empty on UI.

The issue is in our regexp matching. The Nailgun tries to parse OpenStack logs with next regexp

    https://github.com/stackforge/fuel-web/blob/master/nailgun/nailgun/settings.yaml#L82

while some openstack services has another format. For example, heat-engine:

    2014-05-20T13:25:30.718723+00:00 info: INFO: OpenStack Heat Engine started

Since each OpenStack service might have own logging settings, I don't know how to fix in better way.

I see the following ways:

1/ Add new regexp to settings.yaml for the services with a new logging format. Bad solution, IMO.

2/ Change puppet manifests to configure all OpenStack services to log with a certain log format, so we can parse it with one regex.

3/ any suggestions?

I don't think it is High priority issue for 5.1. We can survive without logs in 5.0, especially if I don't see an easy solution for this bug in 5.0.

In 5.1 (master) this is not a problem already. We've merged some logging improvements and I see no problems with logging in Fuel UI.
