Re: [syslog-ng]self-defined facility/priority?

Hi, The official facility/priority can, as far as I know, not simply be extended. You can log to pipe from your own scripts an programs, so that will in some way provide with your own 'facility' (the facility being the name of the pipe) and the priority being in the message. Hope this helps, Sander de Boer 2001-09-04 18:02:32, "Shirley Siu (Utako)" <utako(a)sftw.umac.mo> wrote: >Hi again, > >Can we define our own "facility" or "priority" and used in the >syslog-ng.conf file?

compress()
by jamie rishaw 04 Sep '01

Hi, This is probably a question more for the coders than the list in general, but: I'm currently running 1.4.12 on FreeBSD as a central server, and wanted to know, if/when compress() was going to be implemented? Also, compress() begs the question: will compression be on the fly, or after rotation to another file (e.g. file("/logs/routers/$YEAR-$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST"); ). I guess the question to follow would be for the list at large: Has anyone come up with clever/interesting ways to archive/move old logs?

syslog-ng cannot run in Solaris 2.7
by Shirley Siu (Utako) 04 Sep '01

Hi, Sorry, this may be an already answered question, but I tried to search in the archives and cannot find a solution. I have just installed syslog-ng 1.4.12 in a Solaris 2.7 machine. I started it and it died quietly without any message. Then I tried the "-d" option, and use logger to feed a test message (e.g. logger test test), it immediately cores dump: syslog-ng version 1.4.12 starting io.c: Preparing fd 5 for writing Segmentation fault (core dumped) The conf file is just the syslog-ng.conf.solaris file. Can anybody help? Thanks. Shirley

syslog-ng 1.5.10

Hi, I've released syslog-ng 1.5.10 with the following changes: News for the 1.5.10 release Mon, 3 Sep 2001 18:47:48 +0200 The 1.5.9 version was released in a hurry, some features were not fully completed, and an appropriate NEWS entry was not written. So this one summarizes the changes both in 1.5.9 and 1.5.10: * finalized log statement processing flags * changed syslog-ng buffering, so writing log messages is buffered (sync(10) now means that ten messages are grouped and written with a single write() syscall) * implemented fsync() option to force an fsync(fd) to logfiles after each write * implemented quick&dirty stats reporting (now configurable with the stats() global option) * updated documentation, now includes recent changes as well (log processing, fsync and stats) -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
