Sorry if I was ambiguous before. When I said "log format", I was referring to the message part of the log line. Standardized timestamp, line in the source code that emitted the log line, and level are the bare minimum for all logging.
Keeping the message part of the log line's format in sync with some external store is deviously difficult particularly when the interesting parts of the log are the dynamic portions that can take on multiple shapes.
