[Users] centralized Logging engine and hypervisor

[Sven Kieske]

Hi,

and thanks for pointing this out.

Maybe my BZ at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1078738

could suffice as a first subtask in solving this issue by introducing

a syslog handler module shipped by ovirt for jboss 7.1

and maybe additionally put another couple of log4j.xml into
/etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf[.d/*.conf] for the purpose of
logging.

the log4j.xmls are better to edit at least.
