Also /var/log/subsys is almost dead under systemd anyway. It's still
used by a few legacy initscripts that systemd calls, but I'm not sure
where this is going.
Also, if you are implementing a new log viewer module, is this going to
use the systemd journal rather than implementing it's own complex logic
for parsing compressed text files? I've not looked at the code, but it
would be *awesome* if this is what was happening :)
It's very easy to use the journal APIs (either by linking the library,
using python bindings - not sure if there are external perl bindings
yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are - or simply calling
journalctl on the command line and parsing the result. It offers an easy
to parse JSON format so even going via this route should be trivial if
official bindings do not exist). You can get all logs between certain
dates and for particular services with ease, without having to look in
the right file or grep for the right binary. i.e. all the building
blocks are in place for you :)
