Re: [log4perl-devel] Using log4Perl and LOG::Log::Dispatch::Syslog appender.

[Kevin G. <ke...@go...>]

Manuel, you didn't say what you have in your syslog.conf, but I'll bet=20
it's something like the relevant line from mine:

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none          \
       		/var/log/messages

which catches all messages of level info or higher.

The log4perl api is designed to be a single point of control for=20
enabling/disabling logging messages, the decision whether to log or not=20
to log is taken at the log4perl level before the message gets passed on=20
to whatever is implementing the appender, in this case=20
Log::Dispatch::Syslog.  We didn't want to have *two* points of control,=20
so all the messages that come out of log4perl are of level 'DEBUG', so=20
your syslog is seeing a DEBUG message, but it's set up to only include=20
INFO messages.  So if you add this line to your syslog.conf

	local1.debug             /var/log/messages

and take the min_level setting out of your log4perl.conf, and give your=20
syslogd a hup then you should see results.

Note that I had to set the socket to 'unix' to get results on my=20
machine, but that depends on your setup.
