When logging an error, don't throw away the detailed information.
Example record when using the journald output:
MESSAGE=Domain not found
PRIORITY=4
LIBVIRT_SOURCE=error
CODE_FILE=../../src/test/test_driver.c
CODE_LINE=1405
CODE_FUNC=testLookupDomainByName
DOMAIN=12
CODE=42
STR1=Domain not found
STR2=
The format used in other output destinations (e.g. "syslog", "file") is
still unchanged.
The "domain" and "code" numbers are part of the libvirt ABI in
<libvirt/virterror.h>; therefore log processing tools can rely on them,
unlike the text log string (which is translated depending on locale,
and may be modified for other reasons as well).
Alternatively, the "domain" and "code" fields could contain strings
instead of numbers, but it's not clear that it's worth it:
Advantages of numbers:
* the numbers are shorter
* the ABI guarantees that the numbers won't change
Disadvantages of strings:
* adding a ABI-stable string mapping for virErrorNumber would result
in additional work each time a new error number is added
(note that virErrorMsg cannot be used for this because it is
translated)
* a change in the string mapping would be less likely to be noticed
The advantage of using strings is more readability, but note that the
"msg" field above already contains a readable description of the
error.
The inability to allocate memory imposes a fixed limit on the number
of metadata fields that can be supported by the journal; fields beyond
this limit are silently dropped (but the initial part of the message
sent). This was implemented in the previous patch, here we just
increase the limit to 32 fields total.
