Implement a custom logger #12

Closed thasmo closed 8 years ago

thasmo commented 8 years ago

Would be nice to have a custom logger which logs additional information, maybe in different formats to custom files.

Ideas:

Log multiple servers to one file.
Add a timestamp for each message.
Output JSON, XML, etc. if needed.

tail -f log.txt | add_time_of_each_line.sh >> our_improved_log.txt

Some Klei news about this topic: http://steamcommunity.com/app/322330/allnews/

They added the -backup_logs flag.

Recently they added a more or less useful timestamp to the chat log and in combination with existing tools like logstash etc. this issue seems like a big overhead and possibly a waste of time anyway. For now I think we should concentrate on other things and if needed we can re-open this with a more specific goal.
