We''ve talked about it in the past, but it''s not a high
priority for us
right now. That doesn''t mean we wouldn''t be happy to take
some patches
in from the community :-)
It would be pretty easy to add access logging - everything would be
logged at the same severity level (e.g. debug or info, possibly
notice). However, full access logging in a high volume production
environment would likely bring syslog to its knees, unless syslog has
good buffering and log rotation facilities. I believe NSPR has support
for syslog.
The problem with error logging is that we do not use a severity system
like syslog requires. We really only have 2 levels now - error and
debug. We would need to go through our existing code and "triage" the
logging statements that use SLAPI_LOG_ERROR to assign them severities.
Then we would need to enhance the logging API to pass the severity value
(e.g. a new function slapi_log_error_sev or something like that).
