Separate log files

[Norbiros]

One thing I would like to have is the ability to log different things to different files.
So you can for example have chat separately from generic server logs, in a nice, clean way, instead of one big file with a lot of mess.

@SzczurekYT Any idea how we could integrate it into config? Just on/off setting to enable it?

[SzczurekYT]

Probably yes.
You know, for now we are making simple stuff, and we can expand on it later.

[Norbiros]

Yes yes, but I was just thinking about like option to manually separate stuff but it could be too much unused freedom (nobody would use it).

[SzczurekYT]

What do you mean?

[Norbiros]

We could add option like:

log-files:
  - test.log: chat, join, leave
  - important.log: crash, exception
  - other.log: *

In my opinion: useless

Why?
The whole idea or the config?
For the idea: No, it's not useless, because it makes it easier finding important stuff you interested in.
For example when you manage a bigger server it happens you need to take at chat history.
I that case all the other messages make it harder to read, and here you can nicely separate it, especially with the config idea @Norbiros proposes.

If you have big server you won't read chat... IMO this idea is interesting and would fit for some people. Now we are in early stages of development and we don't know how future of configuring servers may look like. Maybe we will have a lot of configs, but we can have for example system of built in modules (something like plugins), where you can enable stuff like that, we'll see :eye
