socklog in cooperation with the runit package is a small and secure replacement
|
|
for syslogd. There are three main features, syslogd provides:
|
|
|
|
- receiving syslog messages from an Unix domain socket (/dev/log) or UDP socket
|
|
(0.0.0.0:514) and writing them to various files on disk depending on facility
|
|
and priority.
|
|
- writing received syslog messages to an UDP socket (a.b.c.d:514)
|
|
|
|
socklog provides these features with the help of runit's runsvdir,
|
|
runsv, and svlogd, provides a different network logging concept, and
|
|
additionally does log event notification.
|
|
|
|
svlogd has a built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no
|
|
need for any cron jobs or similar to rotate the logs. Log partitions can be
|
|
calculated properly.
