I need to keep track of Instance creation in openstack Nova.

That is I need to perform some special operations on creation of new instance in openstack.

So that I need to know where all the details are getting stored (In Log file).

Please some one guide me regarding the Log file for tracking instance creation or some other way to track the same.

As I am aware you have to look in the following services' log files

  • nova-scheduler (oftenly installed on controller node). This will show which 'server' will host the newly created Virtual Machine.
  • The logs of nova-compute service running on the host that the Virtual Machine was instantiated.
  • You can additionally check the logs of qemu and libvirt (again on the host that the Virtual Machine was instantiated)

Have in mind that the info you will find there, depends on the 'logging level' you have set in each service configuration files. For more information about how you can configure the OpenStack Components logging refer to the official documentation "Logging and Monitoring".
