plain text log files please ..
I liked that argument and repeated it a lot, but what means plain text.
Ok lets try another way round that then shall we hows about Human Readable not containing any of the upper 128 Chars of the Character set .
No it is not. Human readbale is what you can see with your eyes, not with a help of the computer programs; just as stated in previous email:
Log is not paper copy, which requires only eyes to read it.
If you need text editor, bash and kernel to read something, then what is the difference to use specialized, a little bit more complicated editor that will output text that you can read, but that text will be stored in way that is convenient for computer to handle it, and it take lesser space on a disk. What you loose? 1) Ability to use primitive interface between you and logs that have to be huge just to satisfy that primitive interface. 2) Need to learn log file format. 3) Need to compress log every now and then with logrotate. 4) Need to expand logs when you want to read archived copies created with logrotate. What you gain? 1) Ability to store more information in the same space. 2) Ability to write and read logs faster then before. 3) Ability to scan for events faster then before. ...
Nope just plain old boring no special tools text please the only way lets get away from this darn windowsisation of Linux and head back to a more friendly way of life
"Darn windowization" :) Ideologists are in general detached from reality. There are good and bad ways get work done with huge gray zone between them. Is it forbidden to go forward, use better way to do a job, just because it resembles on some other (proprietary) solutions?
