Syslog-ng IS the Linux system log daemon, however it performs function
in much the same way as a Mainframe Daemon works and depending on my
audience I have to be very specific with the reference 'syslog daemon'
due its multiple meanings.
I simply meant that the syslog or syslog-ng daemon in linux doesn't do
what you want, ie, record the priority level in the string sent to the
file, nor do I know how to write it, short of modifying the source code,
which I haven't even inspected to estimate the dificulty of such a simple
modification.
I don't think there's a source modification needed for syslog-ng.
One can specify $LEVEL in a template() clause in a destination
section. E.g.
destination d_file {
file("/var/log/messages");
template("$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $TZ $HOST [$LEVEL] $MSG\n");
template_escape(no);
}
(This is taken straight from the syslog-ng documentation in
/usr/share/doc/packages/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.pdf. I would add some
more information like $DATE and $FACILITY. ;-)
$LEVEL expands to the name of the level and not to a number, though.
Best,
Joachim
