@Divya K Konoor (dikonoor):

This sounds more like a change request than an actual bug. Change
requests are done via "blueprints" in Launchpad [1] and their design get
reviewed in "spec files" in Gerrit [2]. The process is described in [3].
The current "Liberty" cycle has reached "feature freeze" [4], this means
you can propose this change for the next "Mitaka" release and use [5]
for that. Since I consider this not a bug, I close it and ask you do
create a blueprint. Maybe Arun Mani can help you with the implementation
of the blueprint.

Title:
  nova GMR doesn't provide option to specify log_dir path

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  oslo_report
  https://github.com/openstack/oslo.reports/blob/master/oslo_reports/guru_meditation_report.py#L109
  gives a provision to specify a log directory that could be used to
  save GMR when user sends signal to a processes. When the log_dir is
  not specified, the report gets dumped into stderr .

  Currently, nova (and other services that support GMR) doesn't have a
  provision to specify a log dir . Due to this, GMR gets dumped to
  stderr and often gets lost along with thousands of other log
  statements. As GMR is used primarily for debug purposes, it makes a
  lot of sense to have a separate file/directory that captures the
  report . This way, it's also much easier to share the output of GMR
  and keep it archived for later reference if required. This problem can
  be fixed by providing a new section in the respective service conf
  files something like the below:

  [oslo_report]
  log_dir = /home/abc/gmr
