Along with the ability to retrieve data from the journal, tools should probably start at the same time to support real message ids. They will allow us reliable recognition without weird regex matches in human readable syslog lines, allow catalogization of messages, documentation, metadata handling, or even localization. What we have in systemd so far is: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/systemd/sd-messages.h We also have proper identifiers for devices/hardware in the kernel logs now. The journal reads them already and connects them to the current udev supplied data. These identifiers should also be used to identify a device instead of the unreliable guessing of strings in human readable syslog messages: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.journal-fields.html Kay -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
