#17194: syslog identity tag
--------------------+----------------------------------

     Type:  defect  |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal  |      Milestone:
Component:  Tor     |        Version:  Tor: unspecified

--------------------+----------------------------------
 When logging to syslog, tor currently sets "Tor" as the logging identity.

 When running multiple instances, this can become confusing quickly.
 OpenVPN by default tags its log lines like this:

 {{{
 Sep 30 17:19:29 defiant daemon.notice ovpn-noreply2-buran[4801]: Control
 Channel: TLSv1, cipher TLSv1/SSLv3 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, 3072 bit RSA
 Sep 30 17:19:12 defiant daemon.notice ovpn-noreply2-axon[4812]: Control
 Channel: TLSv1, cipher TLSv1/SSLv3 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, 3072 bit RSA
 Sep 30 17:19:59 defiant daemon.notice ovpn-noreply2-intrepid[4800]:
 Control Channel: TLSv1, cipher TLSv1/SSLv3 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, 3072 bit
 RSA
 ...
 }}}

 I propose that Tor add an option to similarly tag log entries.
