Logging Glossary: Log Format

As I mentioned here,  I started publishing the LogLogic Logging Glossary. So, here is the seventh term (first second third fourth fifth sixth):

Log Format

A defined sequence of characters and/or delimiters in a message, and the location of fields.

Such characters can be descriptive text, field names, or special character sequences. Delimiters are often spaces, tabs, commas, pipes ('|'), columns, etc.

A binary log format will not have any delimiters but only fixed width fields of bits of pre-defined sizes.
