Can I send logging information to multiple syslog servers? Our IT department has 2 syslog servers (for redundancy) and wants the application to log to both of them. Is adding 2 lines for syslog host going to work? I guess creating 2 separate syslog appenders (SYSLOG1, SYSLOG2) will work, but wanted to explore this path first...
I want to find the fastest logger Ruby has to offer. My intuition tells me that syslog would win in this race. But my intuition seems to be wrong. Syslog turns out to be the slowest out of the three loggers I've tested. I'm using my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Intel Core2 Duo, 4GB of RAM and Ruby 1.8.7 built from MacPorts. ...
I am thinking of using syslog in my rails applications. I am going to follow instructions mentioned here In production box I have 4 rails applications running using passenger. If I switch to use syslogger for all 4 of my applications then I am afraid that the log messages from all 4 applications will go to a single file and the log mess...
A web application running in Websphere is using log4j SysLogAppender to log messages to a syslog daemon located in the same machine. The default setting of the syslog daemon says LOG_FROM_REMOTE=NO. Does this mean that the web application which is located in the same machine as the syslog daemon cannot accept the messages? ...
How do I know whether a syslog daemon which is already running is configured to accept remote packets? I do not have admin privileges. The default setting says NO. I want to know whether it is overridden when the syslogd is started. ...
I'm trying to split a large log file, containing log entries for months at a time, and I'm trying to split it up into logfiles by date. There are thousands of line as follows: Sep 4 11:45 kernel: Entry Sep 5 08:44 syslog: Entry I'm trying to split it up so that the files, logfile.20090904 and logfile.20090905 contain the entries. I'v...
Is there a way for Flex / AIR to receive syslog notices from devices such as cisco switches etc? Does anyone know of any information I can read or sites to look at? ...
I wrote a PHP program that hooks into syslog-ng (via syslog-ng.conf) and it's basically this: while (!feof(STDIN)) { $input = fgets(STDIN); process($input); } cleanup(); where process() and cleanup() are defined by me. The problem I am facing is that cleanup(2) is never called and I need it to be executed before the program e...
I am trying to read a log file with the content look like this: 127.0.0.1 - - [17/OCT/2009:00:02:14 0000] GET xxxxxx xxxx xxx I tried the following reg exp and I am getting ERROR: Unclosed group near index 90 regex = (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s-\s-\s\[(\d+)/(\w{3})/(\d{4}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})\s(\d{4}\)].* Can someone help me? ...
At work, we're building a distributed application (possibly across several machines on a LAN, possibly later across several continents on a WAN+VPN). We don't want log files local to each machine (filling up its disk and impossible to view in aggregate) so we need to centralize logging over the network. Most logs won't be important, so U...
I am using the syslog-logger gem in ruby on rails. This, by default, uses a facility called user, and a program called rails. How can I set the facility to be something like 'local0' or 'local1' or any other facility? ...
Does anyone know how to listen for SysLog connections and deal with input using .NET? I'm currently using Wallwatcher but it truly sucks. I'd really like to build a nice simple Syslog interface for my home network as well as my ASSP server. Thanks in advance. ...
I am looking for example configuration on how to get Log4net logging to a Syslog server. Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance. ...
I read some disturbing news, it seems Syslog has a 1KB message limit. Is this hardcoded into the Syslog protocol, or is this a parameter that can be set for each server. I am hoping the article I read was out of date, so if you have any info please share. Thanks in advance. ...
Is it possible to have one application simultaneously write to multiple syslog facilities? I have an application, written in C/C++, that I would like to write some messages to local0 and other messages to local1. I do not want the messages for local0 to appear in local1 or vice versa. ...
This can be a very simple question, I'm am attempting to debug an application which generates the following segfault error in the kern.log kernel: myapp[15514]: segfault at 794ef0 ip 080513b sp 794ef0 error 6 in myapp[8048000+24000] Here are my questions: Is there any documentation as to what are the diff error numbers on segfault, ...
I'm looking into hooking up a 3rd party Java application to our log aggregation/analysis solution (probably Splunk, we haven't finalized our selection yet though). It seems to be easiest to hook the Splunk agent to syslog, so I'm looking for a way to redirect the application logs to a local syslog daemon on the server. The Java applicat...

Hello, I what all my applications logs to be centralized (ideally in near real-time). We will use a Log4 Appender. Which one should I use: Send log event in a JMS Queue Syslog / syslog-ng Write to a localfile and use rsync (every 3second) to replicate the log Do a POST to a centralized REST Http Service Which one are you using? ...
Heya, In my application, i need to monitor all messages sent by syslog. I've tried with UDP, but after one message, i didn't respond anymore (no error, just no heads up anymore). And setting up a tcp server isn't really the solution either i think. Can anyone guide me to a solution where i can log messages form syslog with tcp (normall...
