syslogd logging

2015-11-12 Thread Mike Dean
Hi,

I'm trying to get system logging to work the way we'd like it to work for
our embedded Linux distribution.  I'm hoping to make it log to the buffer
and to the filesystem simultaneously, allowing our customers to use logread
or look through /var/log/, at their option, without changing any
configuration settings.  I can't seem to get Busybox to log to both
simultaneously.  Can this be configured somehow?

Additionally, I'd like to also be able to configure syslogd to log to a
remote syslog server without losing this local logging and buffering.  Is
this possible?


Thank you,
Mike Dean

syslogd - logging locally and remotely based on log-level

2015-01-06 Thread Ercolino de spiacico
Hello! I have a quick question about syslogd.
Is there any way to run two instances of syslogd covering range of log levels 
(not
overlapping)? I'm specifically asking about option -l


BusyBox v1.21.1 (2014-11-19 20:10:45 CET) multi-call binary.

Usage: syslogd [OPTIONS]

System logging utility
(this version of syslogd ignores /etc/syslog.conf)

-n  Run in foreground
-O FILE Log to FILE (default:/var/log/messages)
-l NLog only messages more urgent than prio N (1-8)
-S  Smaller output
-s SIZE Max size (KB) before rotation (default:200KB, 0=off)
-b NN rotated logs to keep (default:1, max=99, 0=purge)
-R HOST[:PORT]  Log to IP or hostname on PORT (default PORT=514/UDP)
-L  Log locally and via network (default is network only if 
-R)


What I would like to achieve is: having a syslogd instance1 that logs locally 
let's say
1-4 and syslogd instance2 that logs 5-8 remotely. Thus a message e.g. level 6 
is not
logged under instance1 but instance2 only.

This can be very helpful for debugging.

Is this possible with the current busybox build? If not can it be considered an
improvement for the next release?

Many thanks!
