Background

LogD is a component of Cluster Operating System in which other DB services could register themselves to write the logs to a centralized location.

SQL statement execution logs and logs for processes closely related to SQL execution are not using the LogD infrastructure.

Improvement

Only messages of priority “error” and “critical” from ConfD are forwarded to the LogD service.

This change considerably reduces the number of messages logged into the LogD log files. This makes log output easier to read and also avoids showing job parameters.

Changed behavior

ConfD only forwards "error" and "critical" messages to LogD. All other messages are still printed to the ConfD's standard error (found in CoreD logs).
