syslog written on console 51 weeks 2 days ago

I have odd problem with syslog local7, my syslog configure the syslog to be written to

local7.info /var/log/syslog_info

it's working just fine for years but recent days one device syslog message written on console and I don't know why this one device syslog on console but other hundreds of devices syslog still written on the file. my question question is how I can stop that?

I'm not entirely sure about this, but it appears that syslog.log is just a log of syslog-ng occurences, which isn't that useful.  Maybe configuring it to /var/log/everything.log or messages.log would be more useful.  I'm not sure what log was the original intention and or whether "systemlog" or "syslog" is the name of a more useful log in other distros.

Hi, I want to get all of the syslog,which is under the catalogue of var/adm/syslog,in order to do something about correlation analysis. But for days,I can not find anything about that,who can help me? Thank you very much!

Friends,

I've tried to modify the syslogs permission by using the perm option in the syslog configuration in AIX 6.1 TL 05. But its not getting applied after the configuration.

I want to force logfile rotation using logrotate -f /var/log/syslog, but it's only return tones of:

error: syslog:1 unknown option 'May' -- ignoring line error: syslog:1 unexpected text

I know that on this system rsyslogd is running. How to rotate /var/log/syslog? I want it empty.

Hi,

I am using syslog Facility6 for the logs generated by an application. I have appended the following line in the /etc/syslog.conf

local6.* /var/log/app.log

And my application logs are successfully getting created in /var/log/app.log.

For some reason my log files are writing to the *.log.1 files instead of the *.log files, e.g. for my Postfix log files it is writing to /var/log/mail.log.1 and not /var/log/mail.log as expected. Same goes for mail.err.

It looks like it's also doing it for auth.log and syslog.

I'm trying to compile the Linux From Scratch kernel, version 7.1 on Ubuntu 12.04, running inside of a virtualbox.

I've worked through a part of the tutorial successfully, but when I reach Step 5.7: Building Glibc-2.14.1, I get an error when I make.
