The Journal - a proposed syslog replacementThe Journal - a proposed syslog replacementPosted Nov 19, 2011 2:33 UTC (Sat) by gerdesj (subscriber, #5446)Parent article: The Journal - a proposed syslog replacement
Most of the 14 points made in the link are covered in some way by rsyslog.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, why not resuse what is already there?
I've even persuaded it to create MySQL based logs of emails through Exim + Spam Assassin + SA-Exim + ClamAV.
Good luck making that easier via Journal.
At least Rsyslog has been around for ages and developed by someone who is _somewhat_ focused on one thing.
As MS et al have found to their cost as well, logging is not easy and does not lend itself to many standards.
Facilitating parsing and passing is useful however - and for that RSyslog is a bit good.
Cheers
