[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] trace: add syslog tracing backend


From: Paul Durrant
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] trace: add syslog tracing backend
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2016 14:44:14 +0100

This patch adds a tracing backend which sends output using syslog().
The syslog backend is limited to POSIX compliant systems.

openlog() is called with facility set to LOG_DAEMON, with the LOG_PID
option. Trace events are logged at level LOG_INFO.

 Restriction: "ftrace" backend is restricted to Linux only.
 
+=== Syslog ===
+
+The "syslog" backend sends trace events using the POSIX syslog API. The log
+is opened specifying the LOG_DAEMON facility and LOG_PID option (so events
+are tagged with the pid of the particular QEMU process that generated
+them). All events are logged at LOG_INFO level.
+
+NOTE: syslog may squash duplicate consecutive trace events and apply rate
+      limiting.
