Tip: Nicer logs for development and test runs

Development

What's up, folks!

Here is a tip, if you do not like growing log/development.log or
log/test.log (this can be huge sometimes), you can reconfigure it
for syslog since override patch [1] was merged. It is possible also to
change the pattern completely to something shorter to save terminal
columns.

I like to redirect everything into syslog, because I use
systemd-journald in memory only mode, which is convenient. I can still
use logs during development or testing if I need to. Saves a lot of
SSD writes, it's faster.

:logging:
  :development:
    :type: syslog
    :pattern: "[%c|%.1l] %m\n"
  :test:
    :type: syslog
    :pattern: "[%c|%.1l] %m\n"
    :level: debug

Here is the systemd-journald configuration for the record:

$ grep -v ^# /etc/systemd/journald.conf
[Journal]
Storage=volatile
Seal=no
RuntimeMaxUse=20M
ForwardToSyslog=no
ForwardToKMsg=no
ForwardToConsole=no
