Subject: [RFC] Adding timestamp to guest's serial console log
Hi,
Need some comments regarding the following feature :
Addition of timestamp support for serial console logs of a guest.
We can implement it as a configurable attribute in xml.
For example :
<serial type='pty'>
<log file='$PATH/$GUESTNAME-serial0.log' append='on'
timestamp="on/off"/>
<target type='isa-serial' port='0'>
<model name='isa-serial'/>
</target>
</serial>
We can add a timestamp after every '\n' character received from qemu.
Can I have some comments regarding this change like what I should keep
in mind while implementing, whether it is a welcome addition or not,
issues I might face, any qemu changes required.
Thanks and Regards,
Shaleen Bathla
