Automatic registration of journal handlers on systemd-enabled OSes?
hauleth opened this issue · 1 comments
It could be done within application:
case systemd:booted() of
true -> logger:add_handlers(systemd);
false -> ok
end.
However I am not sure if such magic would be expected from such library. On the other hand we already automagically handle watchdog events and connecting to NOTIFY_SOCKET
, so maybe something like that would be considered ok as well? The only problem I see is that without deregistering default
logger it would end with duplicated log entries in journal, and removing default handler is something I would prefer to avoid.
Next version (0.5) will automatically update the formatter to use kmsg
-like level prefixes if detected logger_std_h
pointed to the journal stream. The question about automatic registration of systemd_journal_h
however remains. The problem I see is that it can cause duplicated entries to be present in the journal, which I would avoid. So for now closing and maybe it will be reopened in future if needed.
