Comment 31 for bug 1253896

afazekas: I agree it would be good to extract relevant network config info from the console log.
I talked about this recently with sdague.

I am now querying the console-log as it follows:

nova console-log <instance-id> | grep -P "(if-info|ip-route)"

and

nova console-log <instance-id> | grep -i -A2 "sending discover"

This tells the current network configuration, as well as whether DHCP discover was sent and how many times.

Ideally we would like to have timestamps for these events, but perhaps this is asking too much.
