Subject: QA: Monitor Linux log messages as port of release (candidate) testing

Dear Guenter,

Thank you for testing release candidates and releases [1]. Is your test 
setup documented somewhere?

If not happening already, could the Linux messages (at least up to log 
level warning) also be monitored? For example, in Linux 5.14, a new 
warning snuck in by cefc7ca462 (ACPI: PRM: implement OperationRegion 
handler for the PlatformRtMechanism subtype) [2], which could have been 
caught early on, and fixed before the release.

The test summaries would then also notify about possible behavior change.

Kind regards,

Paul
