[chef] Re: Logging to a queue

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

If you use Chef 10.14 beta, you can hook in to the event dispatch system: 

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/event_dispatch/base.rb
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/formatters/base.rb
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/formatters/doc.rb

As you can see from above, this is how the new formatted output and error 
inspection stuff gets informed about things that happen in a chef run.

This is probably the best way to go for the long term. I'd also like feedback 
about the API and if there's anything you want to do that's difficult or 
impossible with it.

Of course, this entails writing a bit of code yourself, there may be quicker 
ways to get a solution...
