Operating Systems Solaris best configuration for syslog.conf Post 302712759 by DGPickett on Tuesday 9th of October 2012 04:40:15 PM

Usually, the defaults are fine until you start debugging a problem. You can turn everything on for a new file for a limited time, and see what you do not want, turn that off and try again. Syslog is used by any application that thinks it is appropriate, but usually daemons of some sort, so it can be hard to generalize. Some tags are explicitly for detailed debug messages.

NAME
Paranoid::Log::Syslog - Log Facility Syslog VERSION
$Id: Syslog.pm,v 0.83 2010/06/03 19:04:07 acorliss Exp $ SYNOPSIS
use Paranoid::Log; enableFacility('local3', 'syslog', 'debug', '+'); enableFacility('local3', 'syslog', 'debug', '+', 'my-daemon'); DESCRIPTION
This module implements UNIX syslog support for logging purposes. Which should seem natural given that the entire Paranoid::Log API is modeled closely after it. SUBROUTINES
/METHODS NOTE: Given that this module is not intended to be used directly nothing is exported. init log remove dump DEPENDENCIES
o Paranoid::Debug o Unix::Syslog BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Because we're keeping a connection to the syslogger open we don't support enabling multiple facilities that log as different idents, etc. The first syslog facility that gets activated will set those parameters. AUTHOR
