Other than my general dislike of Syslog, probably not. If the
majority of you want it to log to syslog by default, I’m happy to
switch. Drop your +1/-1 in reply.

+1 syslog by default, goes well with rsyslog cookbook (I’m biased!)
Though if chef-client is run from a commandline (ie, there’s a tty),
it should output STDOUT as well.

fyi, to go through history (irc loggins is great for this)
15:29 sigmonsays: something like Chef::Log.logger =
SyslogLogger.new(“chef”)
put that in /etc/chef/client.rb
gem install SyslogLogger also

+1 for syslog but perhaps this should be a switch rather than default?

That’s really the question - it’s easy to add the switch, the question
is whether it should be the default.

+1 for syslog by default.
Just out of curiosity has anyone else noticed that the file based
logging gets wedged from time to time ?

I’d be happy if the default was rsyslog. My general thought is that
chef should do the right thing by default, and make it easy to
customize.
The right thing is centralized logging via rsyslog.

I’d second joshua’s comments that if we have a tty i’d really like to
see output to it and to where ever we end up logging to,
but that said +1 for syslog by default.

The final count here is 7 for, 4 against - so Syslog as the default it is.
The ticket to track Syslog support: http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-273
And adding an option to log to STDOUT if you want it:
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-573
Thanks for the replies, everyone! I’ve scheduled both these tickets for 0.8.
