Exceptions improvement

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sahara/+spec/exceptions-improvement

This specification proposes to add identifiers for every raised Sahara exception, so that they can be easily found in logs.

Problem description

Now it’s hard to find an error in logs, especially if there are a lot of errors of the same type which occurs when a lot of operations are executed simultaneously. They can produce a bunch of similar exceptions (error code doesn’t help in this kind of situation).

It would be nice to have an opportunity to find exceptions by unique identifiers. This identifiers will be found in Horizon tab with events that will be implemented in this spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/119052/.

Proposed change

Support Features:

  • Every error that has been raised during the workflow will have, besides of error message, uuid property, whereby error can be found in logs easily.

For example, NotFoundException will leave in logs:

NotFoundException: Error ID: 7a229eda-f630-4153-be03-d71d6467f2f4
Object 'object' is not found
