Why are people/things parsing tracebacks out of log files when the 
following exists:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.log/api/formatters.html#oslo_log.formatters.JSONFormatter

Seems like oslo.log also has a fluent formatter @ 
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.log/api/formatters.html#oslo_log.formatters.FluentFormatter.

IMHO I hope that nobody is making regex or such for tracebacks any more 
in the 21st century; structured data ftw...
