 Replying to [comment:11 karsten]:
 > Hmmm, the metadata question is really a good one. Ideally, we'd include
 metadata in the first lines, but I didn't find anything about comments or
 metadata or ignored lines in the Apache documentation that we could use
 here.

 up in the case of bridge network statuses. Ideally, file contents would be
 self-contained, if that's possible in this case.

 own and include a small metadata file. This might have other downsides,
 though.

 The output side is something we can build and your suggestion here is one
 solution.
 The open question is how the 'real' access logs and the log meta data are
 provided to CollecTor?
