Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
OpenERP uses the python logging module which has documentation saying that logging to a single file from multiple processes is not supported [1]. When running OpenERP with --workers > 1 we are in such as situation.
Is it known to be safe in OpenERP, and why?
If not, how do people usually solve this issue?

Answering my own question, I believe logging to file with --workers > 1 is not safe, and log records can be lost.
Running using --syslog and configuring the log file with rsyslog.conf is safe.
How exactly does the --syslog parameter work?
see the --syslog parameter here: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/11.0/reference/cmdline.html
It looks like logrotate with workers is still unstable as of 11.0.
