The systemd journal provides a highly efficient way for apps to generate structured log messages. Since systemd will be used by default on future Fedora/RHEL distros (and likely many others), we should take advantage of the journal out of the box for improved logging capabilities. Amongst other things, this allows very easy browsing of the libvirt logs after the fact, filtering on filename / line number / function name and more. This is a big benefit to debugging, compared to current case where we need to decide the filters when starting libvirtd. For example it becomes possible to configure libvirt to include all QEMU logging, and then later ask the journal for only messages related to the QEMU json monitor. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
