title: What is the best practice for formatting logs?
body: <p>I'm writing a piece of honeypot software that will have extensive logging of interactions with it, I plan to log in plaintext <code>.log</code> files.</p>
  
  <p>I have two questions, from someone who isn't too familiar with how servers log. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Firstly how shall I break up my log files, I'm assuming after running this for a month I don't want one big <code>.log</code> file, do I do this by day, month, year? Is there some standard for it?</p></li>
  <li><p>The format of each line, do I have one standard delimiter that is whatever, *, -, +, anything? Is there a standard anywhere (my googling hasn't brought up much)?</p></li>
  </ol>
