Operating Systems Linux How to send from Tomcat log (catelina.out) to Syslog? Post 302527711 by troyd on Saturday 4th of June 2011 06:40:02 PM

2 things to check:

1. You mentioned the /var/log/tomcat5/ directory. Did you create /var/log/tomcat5/ or /var/log/tomcat5? Note also that it'll need to be writable by whatever user is running Tomcat/log4j.

2. Is your syslog daemon configured to accept events over IP sockets (bind to a port), and not just locally (ie, /dev/log)? You might test that by generating an event with "logger" and see whether that appears in the system syslog and/or your remote log host. Instructions at http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/configuration/generate-a-test-remote-syslog-message

It could also be that log4j isn't receiving any messages, but that config looks sane at first pass.

If you want to test with a known-good syslog receiver, make a free account at http://papertrailapp.com/ and add a system. You'll get a hostname that you can log to, and should be able to drop that into the SyslogAppender then see your messages appear. If you don't see messages appearing, they aren't being generated.

socklog-conf(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   socklog-conf(8)

NAME
socklog-conf - sets up a socklog(8) service. SYNOPSIS
socklog-conf unix|inet|klog|ucspi-tcp acct logacct socklog-conf notify acct grp DESCRIPTION
socklog-conf creates /etc/sv if necessary and a subdirectory that runs the unix, inet, ucspi-tcp or notify service (see below for each ser- vice). Except for the notify service, socklog-conf also creates a log directory with subdirectories. acct, logacct and grp must not contain any special characters. UNIX SERVICE
socklog-conf unix acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument unix, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-unix and the log directory /var/log/socklog. socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen for syslog messages on /dev/log. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-unix INET SERVICE
socklog-conf inet acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument inet, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-inet and the log directory /var/log/socklog-inet. socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen for syslog messages on the UDP socket 0.0.0.0:514. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-inet. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-inet KLOG SERVICE
socklog-conf klog acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument klog, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-klog and the log directory /var/log/socklog-klog. socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to read kernel messages from /proc/kmsg on Linux, or /dev/socklog-klog on BSD. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-klog. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-klog UCSPI-TCP SERVICE socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument ucspi-tcp, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp and the log directory /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp. socklog-conf arranges for tcpsvd(1) to run socklog(8) under the uid and gid of acct and to listen on the TCP socket 0.0.0.0:10116. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp NOTIFY SERVICE
socklog-conf notify acct grp Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument notify, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-notify. socklog-conf arranges for uncat(1) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen on the named pipe /var/log/socklog/.notify. The named pipe will have mode 0620, the uid of acct and the gid of grp. All uids running a log service that is configured to push log events to the socklog-notify service must be member of the group grp. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-notify SEE ALSO
