When a image is created/updated/deleted, there isn't enough **debug** info in log file (like /var/log/glance/api.log). Adding some debug log will be helpful for users to trace the update history.
Like this:
Initial value ---> update 1 ---> update 2 ---> update 3 ---> delete.
# cat /etc/glance/glance-api.conf |grep ^debug
debug=True
#glance image-create --file /root/a.img --name testtest --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2
