All, Even though I have looked at the documentation and search this group, I can seem to find a clear answer.
Can puppet logging preferences be controlled via puppet.conf? In the docs there are two variables that control this: puppetdlog<http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.0.0/configuration.html#puppetdlog> and masterlog<http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.0.0/configuration.html#masterlog>. Setting either of these in the config does not seem to effect the logging, always does to syslog. Only setting the --logdest when starting puppet seems to change the logging (command line, /etc/sysconfig or config.ru)? BTW: I have tried to also added logdest to the puppet.conf 1) What is the correct syntax to enable logging to a file (vs syslog) for master and also agent? 2) Can the syslog logging be disabled? What is that syntax? Here is a sniplet of my config [main] user = puppet group = puppet logdir = /var/log/puppet rundir = /var/run/puppet ssldir = $vardir/ssl report = true reports = log,store [agent] server = puppet.domain.com classfile = $vardir/classes.txt localconfig = $vardir/localconfig puppetdlog = $logdir/puppetd.log [master] masterlog=$logdir/master.log #logdest = /var/log/puppet/master.log certname = puppet.domain.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
