Comment 25 for bug 832507

Having examined the idea of the libvirt_consoled a bit more, I think it is not actually required. It is possible to get good support for console logging, max bounded size, rollover, & secure remote access, simply by dropping in the standard 'conserver' daemon with a suitable configuration file. There'd be no need for any new features in either libvirt or QEMU for this to work. All nova would need todo would be update the conserver.cf file whenever a VM is started or stopped. Reusing existing mature projects like conserver is perferrable to reinventing the wheel with our own half-baked solutions.
