Description Robbie Harwood 2016-02-12 17:33:23 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1168955 +++

Description of problem:

Instead of writing the debug logs directly to the disk, it is possible to send them to journald, on platforms where journald is available.

The biggest benefit is that the debug logs are structured, so it's possible to decorate the debug messages with key/value pairs and later query based on these extra fields.

This feature is a required so that FreeIPA project can implement additional log processing or auditing capabilities. See upstream ticket for details: ​https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4296.

Comment 1 Martin Kosek 2018-10-08 05:35:14 UTC
There is now some work on properly gathering logs from FreeIPA, but having logs in journald will not be a requirement. Given this RFE did not get traction until now, I do not think it is needed and I will close it. We would open RFE when the log gathering piece is clarified and it is known what technology will do it.
