Ask HN: Open Standards for Data Logging?

3 pointsktownsend5y ago2 comments

I'm trying to design an open source (hardware-based) data logger, and would like to stick to open standards as much as possible.

What are some key standards to keep in mind for a generic data logger for things like timestamps, individual record format, file format(s), metadata, etc.?

Apologies in advance, I'm not sure I entirely grok your question- I'd looks at:

The literal syslog RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5424

A new intereshttps://github.com/open-telemetryting (to me) project, OpenTelemetry: https://github.com/open-telemetry

I wasn't aware of that project ... appreciate the heads up.
