What problem does this solve ?
Trawling syslog files with miserable Perl scripts and the like, trying to
rebuild structure from a not very well-formed or structured ascii text.
Writing a syslog event monitor should not involve grokking around in
that mess.
I thought so I just didn't want to put words in your mouth.
Very kind :-)
Doesn't FMA cover some of this binary log concept though ?
Well it keeps a binary log of incoming error event telemetry
and faults diagnosed from that. But there is lots of stuff that
targets syslog that cannot (should not) be cast in FMA terms.
FMA is interested in error telemetry and in trying to diagnose
faults that it might indicate - it's not interested in much
of what goes to syslog (although there are plenty of places
that target syslog which could/should target FMA instead).
However I'd guess that the libexacctt logifile format that
FMA uses could well be a good start towards a structured
syslog file.
