Ask HN: Why isn't there a logging standard using the latest best practices?

  The same reasons we don't have a standard file format for all applications.

  can you provide a link to these "latest best practices" of which you speak?

    Nah, I was thinking in terms of behavior. Some (expensive) devices suck for detail on logging to the point of uselessness for forensic purposes, for instance. It'll compress a dozen criminal concepts into a single entry such as: "A user logged off"
