https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227 Summary: Feature request – Linux /dev/kmsg support Product: syslog-ng Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi@balabit.hu ReportedBy: grawity@gmail.com Type of the Report: enhancement Estimated Hours: 0.0 Starting with Linux 3.5 (commits [1], [2]), there is a new kmsg interface "/dev/kmsg", which allows multiple readers, is able to export some structured data (such as device name and subsystem), avoids some other problems /proc/kmsg had, such as the ones described in syslog-ng's FAQ [3]. Are there any plans to support this in syslog-ng? The format is explained in Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg.txt [4].
