Package: syslog-ng
Version: 3.1.3-3
Severity: wishlist
See also #353744 and #174038 of sysklogd.
A small change to syslog-ng could make logs useful.
Could then use as default to solve #353744 and #174038.
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:--
# First, set some global options.
options {
...
# rfc3339|iso fix bug #353744
ts_format(rfc3339);
};
This will the ensure that dates are not ambiguous and mostly monotonic.
Can then query large logs efficiently with LC_COLLATE=C look -b.
Results can then be filtered, joined, etc.
Log analysers should also be fixed to work with ordered dates.
