I am not a fan of binary logs, either.
I am a fan of more consistenly structured/filterable logs that are easier to pin to their service. I'm an even bigger fan of the fact systemd goes to a more Unixy model of not making every daemon author re-invent the logging wheel for their double-forking daemon.
- brokenparser 13y agoBull, we've had a syslog facility for ages.
- rodgerd 13y agoWhich would be why pretty much ever web server and mail server choose to implement their own logging mechanism, right? Or perhaps its that having to bundle your logs together into a comparative handful of categories and then sort through them is less than entirely optimal.
- brokenparser 13y agoDaemons implementing their own logging in addition to syslog is a feature, not a bug. With journald, even more so.
- dredmorbius 13y agoMy understanding is that for a number of services (postgresql comes to mind) the issue was that syslog isn't implemented on all platforms, notably Windows.
