Is it possible to similarly increase the TTL for messages logged using the functions in asl.h? (It's not practical to reconfigure every user's instance of syslogd.)If not, I'm probably going to have to go back to logging to files.
Yes, there are two things you can do.1) You can add a physical log file as well as using the database so that users get both. Use asl_add_log_file(3) to add a log file to a client. This will allow you to use the ASL API the same and it will add the entry to the asl database as well as logging it to the physical file you supply.
2) Add the key ASLExpireTime key to the message... the message will not be archived or deleted until at least sometime after this time has passed.
