Description

Another idea how to get more free space for log message is grouping by datetime. You'll rarely notice changes in date part while be reading the logs, so it is possible to extract this common part as group header like:

[2010-02-13]
==============================================================================
[02:31:30] [<0.6327.1>] httpd 401 error response:
 {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Name or password is incorrect."}
[02:31:29] [<0.6258.1>] 'GET' /_log {1,1} from "127.0.0.1"
Headers: [{'Accept',"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"},
          {'Accept-Encoding',"gzip, deflate"},
          {'Accept-Language',"en-US,en;q=0.5"},
          {'Connection',"keep-alive"},
          {'Cookie',"AuthSession="},
          {'Host',"localhost:5984"}]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[02:31:29] [<0.6258.1>] 'GET' /_log {1,1} from "127.0.0.1"
Headers: [{'Accept',"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"},
          {'Accept-Encoding',"gzip, deflate"},
          {'Accept-Language',"en-US,en;q=0.5"},
          {'Connection',"keep-alive"},
          {'Cookie',"AuthSession="},
          {'Host',"localhost:5984"}]

More free space for log message!
