 = problem =

The logs for both the blocker tracking app and the sync operation are
 limited to stdout only instead of being separated out into a file.

= analysis =

The biggest problem here is recording what happens with sync - we used to
 deal with it by piping the output into a file but with the shift to RPM
 packaging and hosting in fedora infra, this is no longer an option.

The log messages during normal app use go to httpd's error_log but that
 isn't as big of a problem.

This bug will serve as a tracker bug for all the functionality which needs
 to be done in order to properly log output from sync and the blocker
 tracking app.

Comment (by tflink):

It turns out that there is a change going on in infra with regards to
 their logging perferences. Instead of using a standalone file or stdout,
 we're supposed to be using syslog so that things get picked up by rsyslog;
 documentation is available at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AppBestPractices#Centralized_l...

Since we're not done with the logging yet and there are still a few things
 not working, we should probably start implementing this instead of logging
 to a file.
