[ovs-dev] Problem with Log Levels

[Saleha Asad]

I saw this command in a legacy script being used by an older version of
OVS. I just had a look at the man page it says that the "For compatibility
with older versions of OVS, *any* is accepted as a word but has no effect",
so I now modified my command according to the man page and used the
following.

ovs-vsctl vlog/set file:off
ovs-vsctl vlog/set syslog:off
ovs-vsctl vlog/set console:dbg

This turns off the log messages for file and syslog and sets the log level
of console to dbg. But still after using these commands I am unable to see
any OVS log messages on my console. For example when I used the command

ovs-vsctl add-port br1 gre0 -- set interface gre0 type=gre
options:remote_ip=abc

I should see a warning on the console

|WARN|gre0: bad gre 'remote_ip'
|ERR|gre0: gre type requires valid 'remote_ip' argument

As this is the error I get in the log file when the log messages for file
are turned on but I am unable to see anything on the console.
