Re: PerlWarn and syslog
Since this section ss probably going away, here it is:
The syslog solution can be implemented using the following
configuration:
LogFormat %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b common
CustomLog | /usr/local/apache/bin/syslogger.pl hostnameX common
where a simple Isyslogger.pl can look like this:
syslogger.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
my $hostname = shift || 'localhost';
my $priority = 'ndelay'; # open the connection immediately
my $facility = 'local0'; # one of local0..local7
my $priority = 'info'; # debug|info|notice|warning|err...
setlogsock 'unix';
openlog $hostname, $priority, $facility;
while () {
chomp;
syslog $priority, $_;
}
closelog;
[snip]
Hmm. Why is priority redefined? Seems like you'll lose your ndelay param. I
think you mean to do something like:
my $hostname = shift || 'localhost';
my $options = 'ndelay'; # open the connection immediately
my $facility = 'local0'; # one of local0..local7
my $priority = 'info'; # debug|info|notice|warning|err...
setlogsock 'unix';
openlog $hostname, $options, $facility;
while () {
chomp;
syslog $severity, $_;
}
closelog;
The problem with this solution is all logs from apache will now have the
same priority, and they were made up by me. I'd like to keep the same
priority which apache set.
Thanks for all the help so far. I appreciate the quick responses.

PerlWarn and syslog
I am using apache+mod_perl and have: ErrorLog syslog PerlWarn On However the warning don't come out. If I change to ErrorLog /var/log/logfile or something similar then the warning start appearing. How do I get the warnings when syslog is used? Thanks, Lance

Too many people suggested that we plunge the syslog section because of
its slowness and unreliability. You should use log_spread instead if you
need to collect logs from many machines.
Since this section ss probably going away, here it is:
The syslog solution can be implemented using the following
configuration:
LogFormat %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b common
CustomLog | /usr/local/apache/bin/syslogger.pl hostnameX common
where a simple Isyslogger.pl can look like this:
syslogger.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
my $hostname = shift || 'localhost';
my $priority = 'ndelay'; # open the connection immediately
my $facility = 'local0'; # one of local0..local7
my $priority = 'info'; # debug|info|notice|warning|err...
setlogsock 'unix';
openlog $hostname, $priority, $facility;
while () {
chomp;
syslog $priority, $_;
}
closelog;
The syslog utility needs to know the facility to work with and the
logging level. We will use Clocal0, one of the special logging
facilities reserved for local usage (eight local facilities are
available: local0 to local7). We will use the Cinfo priority level
(again one of eight possible levels: Idebug, Iinfo, Inotice,
Iwarning, Ierr, Icrit, Ialert, Iemerg).
Now make the syslog utility on the master machine (where all logs are
to be stored) log all messages coming from facility Clocal0 with
logging level Cinfo to a file of our choice. This is achieved by
editing the I/etc/syslog.conf file. For example:
local0.info /var/log/web/access_log
All other machines forward their logs from facility Clocal0 to the
central machine, therefore on all but the master machine we add the
forwarding directive to the I/etc/syslog.conf file (assuming that
the master machine's hostname is Cmasterhost):
local0.info @masterhost
We must restart the syslogd(8) daemon or send it the C-HUP kill
signal for the changes to take effect before the logger can be used.
