There is definitely support for logging only patches that help us find problems easier. I just added openstack operators, because I think it would be good to get as much input as possible over what problems are difficult to track down.
Some thoughts off the top of my head:
When downloads from glance fail after multiple retries, the glance server that is failing is not in the output anywhere.
Request IDs just landed in glance and it would be cool if those were logged in nova
I know there are more things!
