- Yoav suggests in http://gerrit.ovirt.org/28869 to change our ages-old log format. I like double-colon as delimiter, but I may be old fasioned. It's a tiny oneliner, but everybody is going to be affected by it, so please review it. In particular, if anybody is using an automated tool to parse the logs - come forward, as we may break things up for you.
Maybe care to make it compatible with systemd journal logging?
What makes vdsm logs incompatible?
I'd like if you could avoid multi line logging as much as possible as there are still many old syslog services around which do not handle this correct.
We use multi line messages only for tracebacks. In this case multi line messages are essential for understanding the logs. Tracebacks should be logged only to vdsm log. Please open a bug if you see them in syslog.
I'm still in the process of reviewing this patch and have no strong opinions on the used delimiter yet, but I would encourage you to use _one_ delimiter for the whole ovirt project.
