I have a system running Linux Mint 18.3 x64 (Sylvia) and have recently added apcupsd to the system to support an attached APC UPS. This uses system logging to report events and data. My distro comes with rsyslog 8.16.0-1 from the ubuntu xenial-updates repository.
I have added a file acpupsdlog.conf to my /etc/rsyslog.d directory to handle the logging, but am encountering unexpected results. As per apcupsd recommendation their log data has a facility setting of local0. Their example file was for syslog so I had to adapt it slightly. The contents of my file are: # attempt to get apcupsd logging working properly # # exclude all apcupsd info by default *.info;local0.none /var/log/syslog # Everything for apcupsd goes here local0.info;local0.!notice /var/log/apcupsd.data local0.notice;local0.!warn |/var/log/apcupsd.status local0.warn /var/log/apcupsd.events This does appear to get the apcupsd logging to the /var/log/apcupsd.* as expected, but I am also seeing the logging that goes to the /var/log/apcupsd.data file in the /var/log/syslog file. As per the comments above the first functional line, I had expected none of the apcupsd logging to be included in the /var/log/syslog file. Is there a problem with the line? Is there an edge condition that got missed? Dave
