[Engine-devel] [Users] centralized Logging engine and hypervisor

[Sven Kieske]

First: Thanks for the fast answer!

Second: I decided that this is a much too painful
hack into ovirt regarding maintainability, thus
I will let ovirt log into files like it does already
and pipe those into syslog.

But it would be cool if you could work towards
integrating this feature into ovirt in the future, maybe
for 3.5 or 4.0.

So I created an RFE at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1078738

I think many large data centers could use this feature
as most people tend to have centralized logging already.
