No, I just thought, there'd be some kind of undocumented cmdline parameter
for fileserver, volserver, ... - something like '-debug_to_pipe [filename]'.

Thanks for clarifying.

The 1.4 series supports the ability to write debug and audit logs
from the various servers to named pipes instead of files.   You can
implement filtering by deploying a process that reads from a named
pipe and outputs the desired entries where you would like them to go.

  
  
Is there a documentation or some hint on how to use this feature?

I'm not sure I understand the question.   From a technical perspective
all that was done was to 
remove a restriction that the file name which is opened for the purpose
of writing log data must
be a physical file on disk.  Now it can also be a pipe.  

Are you looking for documentation on how to use UNIX pipes or something
else?

Is there a documentation or some hint on how to use this feature?

[OpenAFS] Log Filtering

2005-11-19 Thread David Sonenberg
I read in the release announcement that 1.4.0 includes a facility for
setting up log filtering.  I would like to set up my server so that a
separate log file is created for each user.  Would this be possible with
the new facility and if so how?
