Comment 1 for bug 1794270

The log level is supposed to be forced here:
https://github.com/openstack/networking-bagpipe/blob/master/networking_bagpipe/bagpipe_bgp/engine/exabgp_peer_worker.py#L102

This should work independently of the restart step in exabgp unmodified Logger.

I'm not sure what causes the problem you are seeing. I'd need to investigate more.
I suspect that the way we monkey patch exabgp to drive logs to oslo_log stopped working with some change in exabgp.

Could you indicate which version of networking-bagpipe you are using, and with which version of exabgp ?
