[PATCH 6/6] kbase: debuglogs: Add a note about auto-shutdown of daemons

[Peter Krempa]

When using runtime setting of logging with 'virt-admin' it can be
confusing that the settings are discarded when the shutdown timeout of a
daemon is reached.

Add a note about this behaviour along with a suggestion to use
virt-admin to disable the behaviour if needed.

+Timeout of the configured daemon
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Common deployments of libvirt start the libvirt daemons via socket activation
+and with automatic shutdown timeout of 120 seconds when no client or object is
+handled by the daemon. When a timeout is reached the daemon stops and all
+settings done during runtime via ``virt-admin`` are discarded. The daemon then
+is re-started with another command.
+
+To prevent auto-shutdown of the daemon you can use the following command::
+
+  virt-admin daemon-timeout 0
+
+The above is introduced in libvirt-8.5.0.
