Re: [openupload-devel] syslog logging info

[Fabio M. <Fab...@ar...>]

Hi Alessandro,

I've tried the solution you suggested without success:

I've modified lib/main.inc.php in this way:

............................................
    $this->loglevels['error']    = array('id' => 1, 'syslog' => LOG_ERR     );
    $this->loglevels['security'] = array('id' => 2, 'syslog' => LOG_WARNING );
    $this->loglevels['warning']  = array('id' => 3, 'syslog' => LOG_WARNING );
    $this->loglevels['notice']   = array('id' => 4, 'syslog' => LOG_NOTICE  );
    $this->loglevels['info']     = array('id' => 5, 'syslog' => LOG_INFO    );
    $this->loglevels['debug']    = array('id' => 9, 'syslog' => LOG_DEBUG   );

/* modifica per abilitare syslog su facility LOCAL4
openlog('openupload',LOG_PID | LOG_ODELAY, LOG_LOCAL4);


    /* handle magic_quotes at the source */
    if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {
.............................................

I'm using a Centos 5.4 so, from PHP openlog manual, LOG_LOCAL4 seem to be supported.

And I've added this line at the beginning of syslog.conf:

local4.*                  /var/log/openupload.log                              

The file /var/log/openupload.log is automatically created, but it is not filled with openupload log: the system file /var/log/messages still continue to be filled.

Did I insert the row in the correct place in main.inc.php ? Do you think I'm missing something ?

Many thanks in advance for any tips.

Fabio

No, as its syslog the events are logged to the system syslog, 
/etc/syslog.conf (or rsyslog.conf or whatever is available on the 
system) is used to configure where to log events.

hmm, probably to do this you need to use the openlog function first [1]

you can use the local0 to 7. For the nature of syslog you cannot define 
it based on a process id or name.

rsyslogd should be able to acomplish this with a special filter. [2]

you can put something like this at line 106 of lib/main.inc.php

openlog('openupload',LOG_PID | LOG_ODELAY, LOG_LOCAL7);

Hope this helps,
Alessandro
