It looks like we're top posting this thread, so I guess I'll follow suit.
Some good ideas so far. You can combine a bunch of them with a tool like rsyslog. You can send to a single tagged file if you want, or you can insert them directly into a database (Mysql? Postgres?) of your choice with indexes that allow you to slice and dice it very quickly. Or you could do both. Plus, if you use the rsyslog client, you get reliable transport.

This should work for other analytics engines from Apache project or Hadoop as well.

I just log this stuff to syslog and let it handle date/time and
hostname issues, with the script name as the tag and the
pass/fail/whatever as the message.  For a lot of shellish scripts,
piping to logger works just fine.

I could use some feedback on a thought process.

Situation: Lots machines (3-4 digit count), lots of scripts on each machine
(100-500). The scripts are identified by a set alphanumeric scheme and the
scripts will either pass, fail, or fix the issue the script refers to.

Planned output is one file per machine in the following format:

     servername 2017-07-09 scriptID  Pass

The idea is that the relevant outputs can be collated into one larger file
for searching, or input into a database.

What are your thoughts on this? Ideally others will use this so I'm trying
to think outside my own habits/needs. Feel free to bounce ideas around, you
probably have ideas I haven't even begun to ponder.
