Hello!

We (Observability) have identified a few OpenStack syslog producers as prime candidates for migration to the Common Logging Schema.  We've prepared a patch that will duplicate the currently produced OpenStack logs to an ECS-compatible form to demo and prepare ECS-compatible Kibana dashboards.

This is great! I don't think anyone is super attached to the current format of the logs, so anything you want to do to rework them is great. The only thing moderately interesting about openstack logs is that they include a request ID which is passed around and consistent across the different services; it's very useful for tracking particular issues so it should maintain pride of place in whatever post-processed messages we wind up with.

What we need from you:

1. A quick review to see if we're missing anything.

Done, I've listed three more services in the patch: glance, trove, barbican

1. A list of Kibana dashboards and saved searches that need translation to use the new format.

There are a lot -- basically one per service x one per deployment.  You can find the list by searching for 'OpenStack' and then disregarding the Horizon and haproxy things.

That said, the most important dashboards are:

- OpenStack codfw1dev

- OpenStack eqiad1

- OpenStack Nova codfw1dev Control Services

- OpenStack Nova eqiad1 Control Services

- OpenStack Nova codfw1dev Compute

- OpenStack Nova eqiad1 Compute

If you run out of gas at the end of that list (or even part way through) feel free to drop the cleanup on me and I can decide if the other dashboards are worth updating or can be done away with.

Thanks in advance!  And as always, questions are welcome!

Thanks again!

-Andrew
