The whole purpose of the journal is to provide **structured logging** in a single,consistent format.
Well, that "purpose" is misguided. Removing freedom from the user and, incidentally, the sysadmin, is Windows' modus operandi, not Linux's. You won't be able to force that down linux users' throats, because linux users use linux exactly because of the freedom it provides. The binary format already contains everything loggable, so the customizable tool has to be journalctl. Kind of journalctl --format="%t %h: blah" That accomplishes journal's "purpose" without alienating users. Ie: the tools that want to analyze logs can dictate output format. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
