The purpose of the patch is to debug AMI actions on an active system. While this could be implemented as a logger.conf channel, it would be relatively different from the existing logger channels. Logger channels today specify destinations for log messages. Some of these have special purposes (console, syslog); otherwise they specify files to create. Having a log channel of 'manager' that specifies which messages to send - and not their destination - would be a relatively new/different thing to create. (OTOH, having a 'manager' destination that accepted log messages would be ... interesting? Maybe? But not germane to this patch)

As such, I tend to agree with Olle here: this is just a debug switch. We have plenty of those in .conf file for helping system administrators debug problems.

A CLI command that toggled this behaviour would be ideal, but is not strictly necessary.
