I'm new to rsyslogd. I want to write a plugin. I understand if I use the omstdout plugin, all output will be redirected to stdout.
I have it loaded and I haven't seen anything. I'm using ubuntu 11.10 (rsyslog 5.8.1). I got the source, and compiled the omstdout plugin. : root@primergy 05:14:30;lsof -p $(pidof rsyslogd) | grep omstdout lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/leisner/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete. rsyslogd 13789 syslog mem REG 8,6 37820 484214 /usr/lib/rsyslog/omstdout.so In order to see stdout, I have to run rsyslogd -d? When I do this I see nothing (I tried echo hi >/dev/kmsg) which appears in my logs, but not my screen. Is there anything special I have to do to see the logging output on the screeN/ When I do export RSYSLOG_DEBUG=NoStdOut it seems the -d option is negated (i.e. forks into background). Is there a way NOT to fork (and not have verbose output?)
