Calico logging is set to INFO

[ams0]

What happened:

Deploying calico in AKS the calico-node pods are set to log up to severity "INFO".

What you expected to happen:

A lower logging severity to avoid unnecessary waste of disk space.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Currently only available on up to 1.11 clusters because of #905

az aks create ... --network-policy calico ...

@feiskyer FYI

The INFO level would help for understanding what calico is working and troubleshooting calico issues if there's something wrong. Decrease the log level would lose such flexibility.

@ams0 How much disk space have you observed?

related to Azure/aks-engine#2111

In our k8s clusters (aks-engine), calico generates around 30% of the logs in the system !!

This might be better for a feature request, but the ability to change the log level would be nice

Just in case it's useful, this is the fix in aks-engine Azure/aks-engine#3396, making its log level configurable.

Action required from @Azure/aks-pm

Thanks for your feedback.
I'm going ahead closing this one as it was open more than a year ago. Keep commenting or reopening if we need to revisit.

[palmerabollo]

@TomGeske I'd reopen it. For us is still an issue. Around 30% of our logs are generated by calico, so we have ended up discarding ALL its logs in the fluent-bit daemonset we use to gather our platform's logs.

This issue will now be closed because it hasn't had any activity for 15 days after stale. ams0 feel free to comment again on the next 7 days to reopen or open a new issue after that time if you still have a question/issue or suggestion.
