[syslog-ng] kernel logging feature requests

[Patrick H.]

While setting up a new server at home I've come across 2 feature 
requests that would be fairly nice to have (and not that hard to 
implement I would think).

1) When the 'kernel' flag is set on a file() source (like for reading 
/proc/kmsg), look for the printk time (eg "[ 1234.567890]") and 
calculate when the message would have occurred instead of just using 
when the line was read off the file. Basically check to see the number 
of seconds the system has been up, subtract the printk time, and then 
subtract that from current time.

2) I grab all kernel messages with priority of crit or higher and send 
it to the usertty() destination, but this destination doesnt support 
templates. It'd be nice to be able to define the template. I mostly just 
want to change the time format and remove the hostname (since these will 
only come from localhost on my setup).
