If I understand you correctly, what you're proposing is an analyzing tool which works after-the-facts. I mean extracting the per-daemon logs from a global log archive whereas systemd works the opposite way, AFAIU. You solution requires per-daemon extraction rules and have to be maintained over time. So, postponed to errors. Definetly not a 5-minutes job. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
