[PATCH 7/7 v2] Remove global log buffer feature entirely

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
