Both journald and syslog have problems with retention policies, or rather the lack of - and journald is especially bad. In a production environment, I want to keep package upgrade history going back several months or even years - but I want to purge cron job execution history after a week. journald simply cannot do that; syslog can if you log everything to distinct files - getting back to where we are now, just with lots of extra complexity.

Hi, upstream confirms that the files are mainly non-free. For my purpose, I will just search free replacements. Thanks & Cheers
Re: Unifying logging by default
]] Josh Triplett For the normal and easy cases of line-oriented logs, I think something in the direction of your proposal makes sense, but I think we need to have exceptions for all the weird and wonderful exceptions out there, such as the example below. > - If the software has a well-established set of logfile analyzers > specific to its logfile location and format, and the most commonly > used logfile analyzers do not support reading data from syslog or > journald, the software MAY continue using standalone logfiles (instead > of or in addition to the below behavior) until that changes; > alternatively, such logfile analyzers MAY facilitate the user's > configuration of the software to log to a location they understand. This assumes that syslog is even able to handle the data, both in terms of volume, but also format. Syslog generally deals poorly with binary data, for example. I'm also reluctant to require software such as Varnish to send its logs through any other logging infrastructure, since its logs are rather verbose. I picked a random example from a host and it was ~4kbytes and 97 log entries for the text representation of one request with a backend fetch. Now imagine you're doing a few thousand request-becquerel of that with traditional logging: you'd have about a magnitude more syscalls for logging than you would for the processing itself. This is obviously silly, especially when you can get by with no syscalls at all for it, by logging to an mmap-ed file and using that as a circular buffer. While Varnish is certainly an extreme case, I'd be surprised if it's the only one doing something that doesn't fit into a traditional syslog model. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are

Re: Unifying logging by default
Josh, I support the idea of doing work to unify logging more in Debian. To the extent that you're looking for the initial consensus to start putting together specific proposals and patches, yeah, doing that per-package analysis and work seems useful. I'd even support an eventual SHOULD in the real RFC 2119 sense (meaning it's a bug unless you have a reason to do something else), but not in the Debian policy sense (it's a normal priority bug). I think there are some really good reasons not to do this. I really do not want to see web server logs or inn logs in syslogd/journald by default, although I'd support there being a package that does that. Similarly, unless a lot more chroots end up with their own logging (chroots are not containers), I think that dpkg.log being in syslog would be problematic. But I do think we could do better about using syslog/journald and I'd support trying to achieve that.
