-------------------------------------------

As per Chiradeep:
==============
Hi Saurav,
It looks like the feature is a little orthogonal to ACS. It is more an
adjunct. The only reason to add an API to CloudStack is to re-use the
authentication layer. Otherwise, the feature does not interact with other
parts of ACS at all.

If there was a way for a service to re-use the API layer, that would work?
So, the "LogSearchAsaService" service would be exposed on say a different
port, and run as a different app/service/servlet

> With the job-id in the logs having no link to the external world that is
> interacting with the cloudstack API it is not easy to correlate a failure with
> a specific job. 
> With the inclusion of uuids in the management server logs it would be nice to
> provide an API extractJobLog that takes a jobid = <uuid> as parameter so as to
> extract all log statements of the job. This will be an admin only API and
> ideally a plugin that can be turned off in favour of better log
> monitoring/analyis systems.
> Having the log makes is useful to link our automated test failures with the log
> from the management server using a simple API call.
