Currently the logs that are being generated for events like change of a VM memory from 2048 to 2080 would generate a log like the one provided below.
Sep 08 08:24:08 pve-cl2 pvedaemon[1379]: <root@pam> update VM 101: -delete balloon,shares -memory 2080

As visible that it cannot be understood from the log that ram changed from 2048 to 2080. It would be convenient if the log be generated something like '-memory increase/decreased <value>' or '-memory changed from <value> to <value>'.

We are also using a syslog server but forwarding this type of log would not meet the purpose. So we would like to request enhancement in this regard. Such that VM change logs be generated in a format that would be more understandable and to the point. The logs can also be easily interpreted by a syslog sever.
 
There have been other users recently suggesting this feature and I did a quick skim in Bugzilla, though I could not find an existing issue for this.

So, please feel free to create an issue for this enhancement on our Bugtracker: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/
This makes it easier for us to track the status and discussions regarding this feature. Thanks!
