syslog-ng reads and logs messages to the system console, log
|
|
files, other machines and/or users as specified by its
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
The configuration file is read at startup and is reread after
|
|
receipt of a hangup (HUP) signal. When reloading the
|
|
configuration file, all destination files are closed and
|
|
reopened as appropriate. For more information about the
|
|
configuration file, see syslog-ng.conf(5).
|
|
|
|
Typically messages are sent to syslog-ng via a Unix domain
|
|
socket (/dev/log) or via UDP, to port 514 or to whatever
|
|
syslog/udp is defined to be in /etc/services. To receive
|
|
messages from the kernel, /dev/klog is opened for reading.
|
|
|
|
Messages sent to syslog-ng should be an entire line, prefixed
|
|
by a pri- ority code in between '<' and '>'. Definititions
|
|
of the recognised values can be found in the include file
|
|
<sys/syslog.h>.
|
|
|
|
syslog-ng can be configured to pass messages on to other
|
|
syslog-ng's and when doing so, it sends the message on with the
|
|
priority as a pre- fix.
