[rabbitmq-discuss] Syslog

[Ben Hood]

This would certainly be a possibility.  

I was thinking I might intercept the OTP error_logger during the Rabbit boot sequence and add a syslogd client as a report handler, so that I'm only injecting code into an existing execution as opposed to having to run an extra moving part. But I haven't looked into this in detail yet.

Log file entries are published to this exchange, using the severity level of log messages as the routing key (severity levels are “info”, “warning”, and “error”), so if you bind a queue or three to this exchange you can have clients consume the log messages. A client could then call syslog() to poke stuff into syslog, etc.
