[CentOS] Syslog question
I may be posting to the wrong list here, and in that case I apologize in advance, but is there a way to configure the standard Centos 5 syslog daemon to use more local facilities than local0 to local7? Thank you. -- m ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks. Can any of the syslog alternatives be configured to have more local facilities than what's available in syslog (I think syslog-ng has the same problem) ? -- m On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 2:03 PM, Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 2008-11-20 at 13:29 -0500, Marc G. wrote: > > I may be posting to the wrong list here, and in that case I apologize > > in advance, but is there a way to configure the standard Centos 5 > > syslog daemon to use more local facilities than local0 to local7? > > Nope. > > -- > Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > PLEASE don't CC me; I'm already subscribed > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Syslog question
Thanks, I'll check the rsyslog documentation out. I have several apps that generate logs and I want to keep the log statements generated by each app separate. Syslog is great, just that the number of local facilities is not enough. -- m On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 5:32 PM, Jim Perrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 2:10 PM, Marc G. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks.
