Xen users - Feb 2006 - where does the log entry go ?

I was going through the vif- scripts in /etc/xen/scripts and find that they
have log lines which should be logging information somewhere. However when i
look in my /var/log/xend.log (debug enabled), i don''t see those log
entries.
If it doesn''t log in there, where does it log it then ?

I found a file in /var/log, xen-hotplug.log. However entries get written to
this file only when i remove the priority of the log (with an error
ofcourse).

Doing a tail on the file
usage: ifdown <device name>
usage: ifdown <device name>
usage: ifdown <device name>
logger: unknown priority name: daemon.ifconfig vm01 192.168.1.250 netmask
255.255.255.255 up.
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp
logger: unknown priority name: daemon.arp -s 192.168.1.240 00:08:A1:50:FA:19
pub.
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp
logger: unknown priority name: daemon.ip r a 192.168.1.240 dev vm01 src
192.168.1.250.
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp
logger: unknown priority name: daemon.ifdown vm01.
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp
usage: ifdown <device name>

1. The ifdown syntax is being shown in the log. Is this normal ? Would that
mean the ifdown is not working / accepting the vif name as an interface ? I
have named the domU as vm01 and thats what the interface is named. I tried
to run ifdown vm01 on console and the same usage was returned to me.
To check in the vif-route script if the ifdown was actually getting the vif
name, i put a log entry (without a priority ofcourse so it can turn up in
xen-hotplug.log.

/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route
logger: unknown priority name: daemon.ifdown vm01.
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route
usage: ifdown <device name>

Again the usage is displayed. Confused....

2. Where is the script actually logging the information to ?

If i place the following in the script it shows up in the file with error
"logger: unknown priority name"
        log "ifconfig ${vif} ${main_ip} netmask 255.255.255.255 up"

However if i place a priority debug/info after log, the log entry
dissapears. :(

It seems if i use info instead of debug with log, the entry gets written to
/var/log/messages. However i would still like to know where does it get
written to when log debug is used.

Also i see this:

Feb  7 15:17:56 xen net.agent[29524]: remove event not handled
Feb  7 15:17:56 xen net.agent[29500]: remove event not handled
Feb  7 15:17:56 xen logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp: ifdown vif13.0
Feb  7 15:17:56 xen logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp:
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-xencp failed; error detected.

Is this normal ? This seems to be related to part of my post itself, using
the ifdown vif13.0 returns error. Also the error from net.agent about remove
event not handled.

Any help would be appreciated.
