Centralized logging

Most of our apps use the standard Python logging module, which usually ends up logging to /var/log/httpd/error_log on the local machine.

To have your app logs shipped to our central logging server, you can configure the SysLogHandler like so:

[logging]                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                          
[[handlers]]                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                         
[[[syslog_out]]]                                                                                                                                                      
class='handlers.SysLogHandler'

level='DEBUG'

The app logs will then appear in /var/log/hosts/<HOST>/<YEAR>/<MONTH>/<DAY>/apps.log as well as the merged log /var/log/merged/apps.log.
