Do you know a set of guidelines for writing into a log file?
The file can be long, it should contain a log message per line, including dates and system feedback / audit actions. I may contain user names, status messages, ERRORs, references to files or applications, etc. Each line should not be so long, but there could be exceptions. We cannot use colors, font formatting (like bold or italic) or GUI.
The purpose is to make it more readable and to help the reader to visually scan and find important information easily.
Hint: the user may be a system admin / technical user and it's on Linux environment. Information about well-known characters and words is also valid.
