Open Stack

Hi Sean,

I'm currently working on moving away from the "built-in" logging to use log_config=<filename> and the python logging framework so that we can start shipping to logstash/sentry/<insert other useful tool here>.

I'd be very interested in getting involved in this, especially from a "why do we have log messages that are split across multiple lines" perspective!

Cheers,

Matt

P.S. FWIW, I'd also welcome details on what the "Audit" level gives us that the others don't... :)
