syslog.conf - syslogd(8) configuration file
Every rule consists of two fields, a selector field and an action field. These two fields are separated by one or more spaces or tabs. The selector field specifies a pattern of facilities and priorities belonging to the specified action.
Lines starting with a hash mark (``#'') and empty lines are ignored.
This release of syslogd is able to understand an extended syntax. One rule can be divided into several lines if the leading line is terminated with an backslash (``\'').
The facility is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as auth), syslog, user, uucp and local0 through local7. The keyword security should not be used anymore and mark is only for internal use and therefore should not be used in applications. Anyway, you may want to specify and redirect these messages here. The facility specifies the subsystem that produced the message, i.e. all mail programs log with the mail facility (LOG_MAIL) if they log using syslog.
The priority is one of the following keywords, in ascending order: debug, info, notice, warning, warn (same as warning), err, error (same as err), crit, alert, emerg, panic (same as emerg). The keywords error, warn and panic are deprecated and should not be used anymore. The priority defines the severity of the message
The behavior of the original BSD syslogd is that all messages of the specified priority and higher are logged according to the given action. This syslogd(8) behaves the same, but has some extensions.
In addition to the above mentioned names the syslogd(8) understands the following extensions: An asterisk (``*'') stands for all facilities or all priorities, depending on where it is used (before or after the period). The keyword none stands for no priority of the given facility.
You can specify multiple facilities with the same priority pattern in one statement using the comma (``,'') operator. You may specify as much facilities as you want. Remember that only the facility part from such a statement is taken, a priority part would be skipped.
Multiple selectors may be specified for a single action using the semicolon (``;'') separator. Remember that each selector in the selector field is capable to overwrite the preceding ones. Using this behavior you can exclude some priorities from the pattern.
This syslogd(8) has a syntax extension to the original BSD source, that makes its use more intuitively. You may precede every priority with an equation sign (``='') to specify only this single priority and not any of the above. You may also (both is valid, too) precede the priority with an exclamation mark (``!'') to ignore all that priorities, either exact this one or this and any higher priority. If you use both extensions than the exclamation mark must occur before the equation sign, just use it intuitively.
You may prefix each entry with the minus ``-'' sign to omit syncing the file after every logging. Note that you might lose information if the system crashes right behind a write attempt. Nevertheless this might give you back some performance, especially if you run programs that use logging in a very verbose manner.
Using this feature you're able to control all syslog messages on one host, if all other machines will log remotely to that. This tears down administration needs.
# Store critical stuff in critical # *.=crit;kern.none /var/adm/critical
This will store all messages with the priority crit in the file /var/adm/critical, except for any kernel message.
# Kernel messages are first, stored in the kernel # file, critical messages and higher ones also go # to another host and to the console # kern.* /var/adm/kernel kern.crit @finlandia kern.crit /dev/console kern.info;kern.!err /var/adm/kernel-info
The first rule direct any message that has the kernel facility to the file /var/adm/kernel.
The second statement directs all kernel messages of the priority crit and higher to the remote host finlandia. This is useful, because if the host crashes and the disks get irreparable errors you might not be able to read the stored messages. If they're on a remote host, too, you still can try to find out the reason for the crash.
The third rule directs these messages to the actual console, so the person who works on the machine will get them, too.
The fourth line tells the syslogd to save all kernel messages that come with priorities from info up to warning in the file /var/adm/kernel-info. Everything from err and higher is excluded.
# The tcp wrapper loggs with mail.info, we display # all the connections on tty12 # mail.=info /dev/tty12
This directs all messages that uses mail.info (in source LOG_MAIL | LOG_INFO) to /dev/tty12, the 12th console. For example the tcpwrapper tcpd(8) uses this as it's default.
# Store all mail concerning stuff in a file # mail.*;mail.!=info /var/adm/mail
This pattern matches all messages that come with the mail facility, except for the info priority. These will be stored in the file /var/adm/mail.
# Log all mail.info and news.info messages to info # mail,news.=info /var/adm/info
This will extract all messages that come either with mail.info or with news.info and store them in the file /var/adm/info.
# Log info and notice messages to messages file
#
*.=info;*.=notice;\
mail.none /var/log/messages
This lets the syslogd log all messages that come with either the info or the notice facility into the file /var/log/messages, except for all messages that use the mail facility.
# Log info messages to messages file
#
*.=info;\
mail,news.none /var/log/messages
This statement causes the syslogd to log all messages that come with the info priority to the file /var/log/messages. But any message coming either with the mail or the news facility will not be stored.
# Emergency messages will be displayed using wall # *.=emerg *
This rule tells the syslogd to write all emergency messages to all currently logged in users. This is the wall action.
# Messages of the priority alert will be directed # to the operator # *.alert root,joey
This rule directs all messages with a priority of alert or higher to the terminals of the operator, i.e. of the users ``root'' and ``joey'' if they're logged in.
*.* @finlandia
This rule would redirect all messages to a remote host called finlandia. This is useful especially in a cluster of machines where all syslog messages will be stored on only one machine.
The original BSD syslogd doesn't understand spaces as separators between the selector and the action field.
