    I've been following the discussion of various logging standards, storage
    daemons and parsers.
    
    There appears to be a plethora of different log formats and a need to be
    able to monitor what is happening from a central points.
    However there doesn't seem to be a well-known common standard.
    
    Why don't we have a look at defining a common logging standard ourselves?
    We could then write little adaptors which hook into the custom formats and
    spit out our common standard. On top of that we can write standard parsing
    engines that can look at all the traffic and pass it through to standard
    interface tools (e.g. GUI or mail).
    
    I imagine there's enough talent here to do a good job.
    
    What do you think?
