[OpenSIPS-Users] xlog adding information to output

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Ben,

Yes, this change was done on purpose for logs consistency reasons. As 
when you log via syslog you will get *all* the time the process name, 
pid and data as suffix, we considered that printing to strerr should 
follow the same model and have *all* the time the same prefix for the 
messages.

Now, I guess you grep the logs by some sort of an application (before 
having them pushed as jsons for later processing) - maybe you can do 
some extra pre-processing the strip the prefix before parsing it as json.

Regards,

Bogdan-Andrei Iancu
