=== Redirect Event

The redirect event indicates that a stream's data has been redirected
away from the log. The caller should not expect any additional data
events in the log for that stream.

The following keys are REQUIRED in the event context object:

stream::
(string) The stream name (e.g. `stdout`, `stderr`). All valid stream
names MUST appear as keys in the header `encoding` object.

rank::
(string) An idset string (RFC 22) representing the rank(s) that are
redirecting output.

The following keys are OPTIONAL in the event context object:

Just a thought, we may want to add an optional rank key to indicate the tasks to which the redirect applies. This would allow some tasks to be redirected and not others in the future. (e.g. redirect all tasks except rank 0 to /dev/null)

yeah, I went back and forth on that. Now that I think about it, I suppose if the redirect applies to all ranks, the rank be == all? So we should make the rank a requirement.

oh wait, ranks are idset strings. Hmmm. Should we allow idset string or "all"? Just trying to think of how shell & job-attach handle this. one line per task is cumbersome for the "all" case.

Would it be too difficult to generate the correct idset in the shell output plugin?

Nah, that shouldn't be too hard.

I was mostly thinking about how to recognize that all tasks have been redirected, but we can can count idsets just like EOFs and we'd be fine.

I was also hoping to output a single message if both stdout/stderr were redirected to the same file, but I suppose that can be two messages.

Ah, that is a good point. Maybe stream could be a list? Eh, maybe two events is ok like you say.


path::
(string) Indicates the path data has been redirected to, if the data
has been redirected to a file.

Example:

[source,json]
----
{
"timestamp":1552593350.4,
"name":"redirect",
"context":{
"stream":"stdout",
"path":"job.output",
}
}

=== Log Event

The log event supports error and debug logging from the Flux shells.
