I am currently working on log normalization as well as improvements for rsyslog’s imfile. Among the things that regularly come up on the rsyslog mailing list is support for multi-line logs and Java stack traces in general.
I would like to see what I can do to improve processing of these. To do so, I need a set of samples of such logs. As such, I look for people who would like to contribute log records for my research.
Please contact me at rgerhards@adiscon.com (or any other way you prefer) to contribute log samples. Please let me know if it is OK if I put them into the public log repository for research or you would like me to keep them private.
All types of multi-line logs are appreciated, this is not limited to java stacktraces.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
