Exploratory logging documentation

[waridh]

What is this?

• Exploratory documentation into Linux logging, which includes general concepts of user and kernel logging along with some syslog protocol concepts.
• Details will be somewhat sparse.

Future works

• Increase the amount of information on syslog.
• More research on alternate implementation of logging.
• Find out what is most portable to the version of linux being used on the OBC.

If the quality of the documentation is not good enough, I could spend more time making it better.

Good work! Looking forward to seeing what comes of the example program. I created an issue you can tie the syslog branch too if you'd like.

Is this configurable? We may want to store gzips of sys logs over more particular intervals like every 'N' orbits completed.

Yes, in my reading there was a way to configure rsyslog.

No it's fine I think j moving forward it would be best to demonstrate things with a working example. I found this great article comparing various logging options in rust. https://www.shuttle.rs/blog/2023/09/20/logging-in-rust.

This article is beautiful. Maybe I'll add this to the PR before rebasing it into the main branch?
