[gentoo-user] Daemons log on Gentoo

[gentoo-user] Daemons log on Gentoo

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi,

   I can't find /var/log/daemon... Every time a service is stopped or
started I want to log it on /dev/log/daemon. In addition, I can't see
it on /var/log/message. I tried to stop apache for instance and the
system didn't log this event in /var/log/message, why?

Look in /var/log/everything/ and see if anything is in there.  One of
the logger puts it in there.

The filesystem doesn't have this directory... any clue?

Not after I went and looked at mine.  I use syslog-ng myself and I
thought it logged all that.  I'm sure it used to but it may have been
changed or it may be a option you have to enable now.  You may want to
look at metalog but I didn't see where it logged that either, unless it
had a error of some kind anyway.  I have used both before.

Well, I don't know what logger uses this dir, but anyway, you should
be looking for logs, not for a specific dir.

What is your logger?

Hmmm, depends on your logger, syslog-ng does stuff like that, check
its man page...

I have this in my /var/log/ directory:
==============================
-rw-r-----  1 root    root     116223 Jun  3 18:08 daemon.log
==============================

In addition, check the extract from my /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
(which created the daemon.log file in the first place):
==============================
options {
        chain_hostnames(off);
        sync(0);

        perm(0640);
        dir_perm(0750);
        create_dirs(yes);

[snip . . . ]
        stats(43200);
};

source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
source kernsrc { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };

[snip . . . ]
destination daemon { file("/var/log/daemon.log"); };

[snip . . . ]
#create filters
filter f_daemon { facility(daemon); };

[snip . . . ]
#connect filter and destination
log { source(src); filter(f_daemon); destination(daemon); };
==============================

Adding this in /etc/logrotate.conf ensures that the
/var/log/daemon.log file size does not get out of hand:
==============================
# when /var/log/daemon.log gets big
/var/log/daemon.log
{
    rotate 1
    weekly
    size=1M
}
==============================

Of course the latter is only relevant if you are using logrotate.

HTH.

Hi Mark.. I made the proper changes and still not working.. :(

# vi /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
options {
        chain_hostnames(off);
        sync(0);
        perm(0640);
        dir_perm(0750);
        create_dirs(yes);
        stats(43200);
}

source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
source kernsrc { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
destination daemon { file("/var/log/daemon.log"); };
filter f_daemon { facility(daemon); };

destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_daemon); destination(daemon); };
log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };


What is wrong?

I assume that you restarted the service? ;-)

Sorry, no idea.  The daemon(s) you want to monitor may need to be
launched with particular options and/or config file parameters to

Sorry, I don't.  I have not installed apache.  Check the man page for
apache and the man page for its configuration file(s).  Also, there
must be adequate online documentation because it is everybody's
favourite webserver.

Have you googled for it?

Apache does it's own logging. Look in /var/log/apache2/
