I'm moving this to package rsyslog, I've verified that this is a regression caused by using rsyslog from precise (5.8.6-1ubuntu3). The issue is fixed and demonstrable by: $ url="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/rsyslog_5.8.1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb"; $ wget "$url" -O "${url##*/}" $ sudo dpkg -i "${url##*/}" $ sudo cloud-init start
After the above, a message from 'cloud-init start' will be in /var/log /cloud-init.log. Running that otherwise would put the mangled message in /var/log/syslog. ** Description changed: on boot of a precise image, I did not see messages in /var/log/cloud- init.log as expected. I noticed that some of them are in /var/log/syslog: Dec 16 16:41:30 server-3393 d-init-cfg[INFO]: cloud-init-cfg ['all', 'config'] Dec 16 16:41:30 server-3393 it__.py[DEBUG]: handling mounts with freq=None and args=[] Dec 16 16:41:30 server-3393 SourceEc2.py[DEBUG]: unable to convert swap to a device Dec 16 16:41:30 server-3393 kernel: [ 83.058563] kjournald starting.
