I think that is too large of a POLA > violation to justify. On the other ahnd there is also a new syslog RFC which uses ISO8601 timestamps (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424) and is implemented by syslog-ng, rsyslog and NetBSD-current. As with most major changes the format should be configurable and use the old format as default. But in the long term I would expect the new format to spread (maybe just because I use it on my logserver and already changed my parsing tools). -- MartinReceived on Thu Jan 06 2011 - 14:45:40 UTC
