VDK Logging And Error Handling: Technical Analysis

Goals

Logging

Logging configuration is implemented as a plugin. The plugin hooks into the vdk_configure and initialize_job methods. The vdk_configure hook configures the host, port, enabled flag and socket type for SYSLOG. The initialize_job hook fetches all the relevant job data and passes it to the configure_loggers method.
