I am specifically looking for syslog. I consider logging to disk files to be significantly inferior: I can't use rsyslog to send them to Splunk or any other central log server, I have to figure out some special incantation to safely rotate them instead of just throwing them into the syslog rotation rules, and the date stamp format isn't picked up from the general rsyslog configuration. Our existing Tomcat init scripts already capture Tomcat output in local disk files, so upstart currently doesn't add much value there. Getting them into syslog would be quite helpful. This is a relatively minor thing since one can set up some simple pipelines to do this (and you can tell that it's minor in that we've not done that work yet), but for something as critical as logging it's nice to not have to worry about the other end of the pipeline dying and not getting restarted or having log messages lost when it does. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
