Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu How redirect syslog message to a specified file? Post 302947539 by neutronscott on Thursday 18th of June 2015 04:02:25 PM

oh i don't know i don't have a split config. I assume you have $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf in your /etc/rsyslogd.conf? And that you didn't add the rule within another rule?

To be honest I've never used the expression-based scripting of rsyslogd. If a program needs its own separate log file, usually it will handle it on its own rather than use the syslog.

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
