Improve messages for tasks/jobs

[julienlim]

Problem Description

• Messages are too verbose
• Task messages (in UI) are several lines and pages long
• Some of the task messages should be Debug (vs. Info), and there ought to be a way to suppress debug vs. non-debug information
• Every config parameter does not need to be expressed in the Task Details as we’re trying to convey what task is performed

Recommendations

• Acquiring and releasing of locks should be "debug" tasks
• Filter Task Details table (in UI) to show all rows except “debug” (and add ability to show “debug” or verbose mode)
• For the “Starting configuration of … on with ...” messages (which seems related to the collectd plugin), it may make sense to make all those entries “debug” and have a single line entry (before they kick off) that says “Configuring collectd monitoring on ” with an “info” type.

Current Message:

Starting configuration of tendrl_gluster on ci-usm3-gl6.usmqe.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com with {"integration_id": "44f8f6f3-a103-437b-a3e1-701db25c5382", "graphite_port": 2003, "logging_socket_path": "/var/run/tendrl/message.sock", "hostname": "ci-usm3-gl6.usmqe.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com", "etcd_ca_cert_file": "/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-usmqe.crt", "etcd_host": "ci-usm3-server.usmqe.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com", "interval": 60, "node_id": "7c192ea1-429a-4dbe-b70a-61706f1aec78", "graphite_host": "ci-usm3-server.usmqe.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com", "etcd_port": 2379, "interface": "ens3", "etcd_cert_file": "/etc/pki/tls/certs/etcd.crt", "is_provisioner_node": true, "etcd_key_file": "/etc/pki/tls/private/etcd.key"}as conf parameters

Recommendation for Message:

Configuring <service_name> monitoring on <object>

E.g. Configuring tendrl_gluster on ci-usm3-gl6.usmqe.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com

@julienlim , Are you working on this? Based on our last conversation you wanted to pick this up

[julienlim]

@nthomas-redhat I'm not able to at the moment as I have some other higher priority tasks I have to take care of. Apologies.

[r0h4n]

@nthomas-redhat any updates on this?
