Bug 1196754

1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Write structured logs to journald

2. <INTERNAL>

3. What is the nature and description of the request?

To ensure that all logging done by Satellite 6 is done natively and in a structured manner to journald wherever possible.

4. List business requirements here

Structured logging is a key benefit that journald brings to Admins.  The ability to easily search, sort, and parse logs (especially once centralised) makes the job of administering any system easier.  Whilst this functionality could (should?) be applied to every application that Red Hat ships, I am raising this specifically against Satellite 6.x at the moment.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this?

All components of Satellite 6.x should log natively to journald in a structured format.  Logs could optionally be written to application log files, but I think this would be a waste of time.

6. Specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

`journalctl -f` will display all new log entries arriving at journald.  Search around /var/log for katello/foreman/pulp/candlepin/etc logs - there should be none.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in bugzilla?

For Katello & Foreman, yes - http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/9560 & http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/9561
For Pulp, Candlepin and the rest, no

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target?

Satellite 6.1 would be nice, but this may have branched already.  If it's too late for 6.1, it should be a strong candidate for 6.2

9. <INTERNAL>

10. List any affected packages or components.

All logging components of Foreman, Katello, Pulp, Candlepin, Puppet, etc

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Yes
