Hi,
As I am writing on the wiki page here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Logging#Remote_logging
it is possible to get all of the stuff anaconda logs(except a couple
corner cases like isys and external logfiles like Xorg log) over a
network. The downside is that anyone who would like to sensibly use this
needs to configure and start an rsyslog daemon. That includes
copy-pasting and editing the not so short (and possibly changing in the
future) config file from the wiki page. That's why I decided to provide
a small script that generates the file automatically and fires up the
daemon on a given TCP port.
For now, I put it in scripts/analog in anaconda source and after
installation of the anaconda rpm it will reside in /usr/bin/analog. It's
possible to call it from either location, it has no extra modules. To
start it, cd into an empty directory where you wish to have your log
file structure and then do
$ analog start -p 1234 log
to start a syslog daemon on port 1234 and store the logs under log/
(assuming you do an installation with --syslog=your.ip:1234). It's
possible to start several daemons too.
Let me know if you dislike having such script as a part of anaconda, or
having to install anaconda.rpm to get it or if you think this is
something we shouldn't even provide.
Ales
