syslog

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there's a way to send all cron output to syslog by default. I know, of course, you can can use shell redirection into a file, or even pipe a specific command's output to logger, and that'll get it to the appropriate log file according to syslog's configuration… but...

I've recently set up sysutils/loki to (hopefully) simplify log management. I currently have it working, but in a "first step" kind of way (specifically, syslogd on the local machine sends to it over UDP, and nothing but the local machine sends to it at all). I hope to replace syslogd with...

So I use sshguard, and it is very chatty, and it is clogging up my main syslog (/var/log/messages). I would like it if it would instead log all of its messages to /var/log/daemon.log, like dhcpd does with its DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK messages. SSHguard doesn't seem to have any obvious way to control...

Is there a reason that no one has added strftime formatting to the filename parsing for syslogd? It seems to me that a line in /etc/syslog.conf like: security.* /var/log/security/+%Y-%m-%d would be very useful. In today's world of append only filesystems...

Good day everyone. I noticed that cron messages in syslog contains full path in programname instead of short name. (e.g /usr/sbin/cron[31067]) looks like only cron does that. This makes filtering difficult in rsyslog. Is there a way to change this behavior? Jun 30 19:40:30 hostname ntpd[684]...

Hello everybody. Got some issue with syslogd and messages which contain Cyrillic symbols. Syslog turns it in some unreadable garbage. There is a device that sends Cyrillic messages to syslog, it's realy hard to understand what does it mean. Have made some test writing the same message to...

Hello! I work with FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE amd64 and send logs to a log-collector server (Debian 10 Buster). There's syslog-ng that have the config. Here's some additional lines to send logs to the remote server: 161 #log { source(src); destination(loghost); }; 162 destination lc_net {...

I have been using isc-dhcpd for a while now; however, I am not seeing any logs written to /var/log/messages or /var/log/dhcpd.log. /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf log-facility local7; /etc/syslog.d/isc-dhcpd.conf !dhcpd *.* /var/log/dhcpd.log #local7.debug...

Hi , I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm trying to make the server to send all the system logs to a remote server and I'm failing because every time I modify the /etc/syslog.conf file and once I restart syslog service /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart the /etc/syslog.conf file return to default configuration...

my mistake probably overload system. I configured syslog client (maybe server too). After boot on console in cycle printing "logmsg: pri 2, flags 17, from Device". How I must solve this problem? Thank so much

I have not found anywhere in the docs how to make selections from syslog by ident. I use chrooted Unbound and I've configured it to write its log to syslog. I've found in syslog.conf an example how to select records from syslog by program name: !unbound *.* /var/log/unbound.log !* But...

Hey, would anyone be able to tell me how I could use syslog to log stuff I do in my management scripts? Like I'd like to start writing scripts to automate some of the system's maintenance, but one of the things that's stopping me, I think, is that I don't really have an easy way to log what's...

Hello people. I have the problem. I set up zoneminder and he very fine works. I use two usb web-camers over webcamd. My problem is that: after run zoneminder in the /var/log/messages writes intensely many strings. Aug 25 02:00:00 freebsd kernel: WARNING pid 52962 (zmc): ioctl sign-extension...

Hi, Is there any way to redirect all ARP log messages to a separate file? Those messages look like this: Apr 1 15:03:59 router kernel: arp: fa:4b:bc:12:7a:7d attempts to modify permanent entry for 192.168.29.30 on vlan3 Right now I have them in /var/log/messages in pair with a lof of other...

Hello everyone, I would like to order a little bit the informations logged by pf. So, I have tried two things: 1. I have added some "(to pflog<n>)" after "log" in the pf rules, like here: pass log (to pflog2) quick on $ext_if proto tcp from $ssh_authorized_ip to $ext_if port ssh Problem is...

Hello everyone, here goes my first question! I have got many distributed pfSense devices through the internet. Those machines use syslogd to log events to a remote machine running rsyslog. My server can not manage to identify the source of the messages, at least not from its host field, as...
