Package: dovecot-core
Version: 1:2.1.7-6
Severity: minor
Hi,
I've noticed these entries in syslog (mail.info):
| Jan 9 04:33:15 palomino dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with
| signal 15 (by pid=1037 uid=0 code=kill)
| Jan 09 04:33:15 master: Info: Dovecot v2.1.7 starting up (core
| dumps disabled)
I've configured info (and debug) messages to not log via syslog:
#log_path = syslog
info_log_path = /var/log/mail.info
That's why these two messages have a different format. First is logged
via syslog (thus sent by Dovecot with a priority less that 'info'), the
second is write directly by Dovecot with 'info' priority.
This causes monitoring tools like logwatch to send misleading alerts:
| Dovecot was killed, and not restarted afterwards.
|
| **Unmatched Entries**
| dovecot: master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading
| configuration: 2 Time(s)
I think these important server actions (start, stop, reload..) should
have the same syslog priority (probably start/reload is log with 'warn'
right now, I'm not sure).
Cheers
