I would recommend a format like:
<full timestamp> host=servername script=ID result=(Pass|Fail)

This makes parsing the result with a log analyzer a lot easier in my
experience.  (Splunk for example would automatically extract all of those
tagged items into named fields, so you could do searches/reports on those
fields without having to do any extra work to extract them manually)
