I want to improve the logging of my Bacula server. Right now, Bacula seems to log a lot of things I don't care about, such as spoolersize and spooler usage, and does not log information I would like to see, such as filenames or directories currently being backed up.
Jobs are long, so some status notifying me of progress other than 'The Job's still running' is warranted. All of the reading I have found thus far focuses on different log utilities and log rotation, but I want to customize what events are being logged by bacula-fd. I don't currently have -d specified for bacula-fd, so I could play around with the debug level to see if this will add the information I want, but then it's a matter of turning off the logs (such as the default spooler size status message that is logged every second) that I do not want. Has anyone customized bacula logging and would be willing to share what they did? FYI: my logs are filled with this message, repeated every second: 31-Oct 09:58 Scalar-i40 JobId 28: Writing spooled data to Volume. Despooling 129,048 bytes ... 31-Oct 09:58 Scalar-i40 JobId 28: Despooling elapsed time = 00:00:01, Transfer rate = 129.0 K Bytes/second 31-Oct 09:58 Scalar-i40 JobId 28: Spooling data again ... In my opinion, the fact that the spooler is working and doing it's job isn't something that needs to be logged. Knowing what file is currently being read would be nice.
