I've done some logsys studying and discussed it with Steve Dake. The logsys implementation and api is heavily geared toward use by openais plugins (see the entire notion of "subsystems" that logsys is built around). Using it from a general program like fenced, not an openais-plugin, makes the mismatch painfully clear. So, I don't hold out much hope that logsys is going to be useful for non-plugins. But, just because we don't share the actual code that performs logging, doesn't mean we can't have a uniform approach for setting up logging properies for all cluster-related programs. That may still be a worthwhile goal.
