            Bug ID: 101727
           Summary: Wayland Server Logger does NOT exist [lookalike Xorg
                    server logger, integrated into server itself]!
           Product: Wayland
           Version: 1.5.0
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nobodyless at gmail.com

Let me start from Xorg as an architecture.

We see that in Xorg server space we have two processes working independently.
We have Xorg server as one process (which also does logging built-in services),
and we have aside second independent process which is Xorg compositor itself.

These two processes Xorg server and its compositor) communicate (probably) via
D-bus, my best guess?!
_______

Let me now change the topic. Let me talk about Wayland clients, and Wayland
server. Here, we have completely different situation, as my best understanding
is. Talking about Wayland server architecture.

We have Wayland compositor integrated inside Wayland (let me pick Weston, as
compositor). So, single process after all. And, we do NOT have logger, as we
have it in Xorg server.

Major/critical question: why we don't have logging services/logger in Wayland
server?

[1] Because the execution timing is tight?
[2] Real Time is compromised?
[3] You, Wayland developers, name it for me/us all?! 

In other words I am advocating for the logger (similar to one in Xorg server)
to be created/designed and built-in inside Wayland server. 

Thank you,
_nobody_
