I've got an old PC running Truenas as a local server for backups, videos, etc. I've got another PC I consider my "main" system running rsyslog. On this PC I have tried (mostly successfully) to direct remote syslog messages from the Truenas system to logfiles in a subdirectory on my main system. This gibberish in my main system's rsyslog.conf seems to do the trick: # Log incoming message from remote systems here $template DynamicFile,"/var/log/loghost/%HOSTNAME%/%syslogfacility-text%.log" :hostname, contains, "nast" *.* -?DynamicFile Most remote log message do indeed get redirected to the subdirectory as expected, but SMART messages like these still wind up in /var/log/messages on my main system rather than in the subdirectory. Example: Nov 16 16:16:51 nast 1 2023-11-16T16:16:51.564170-05:00 nast.my.lan smartd 1501 - - Device: /dev/ada0, SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 58 to 57 Most other messages wind up down in the subdirectory as expected, like this: Nov 16 19:15:00 nast 1 2023-11-16T19:15:00.012359-05:00 nast.my.lan /usr/sbin/cron 16239 - - (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Anyone understand remote logging enough to provide any hints why this is happening? It is clearly not all that critical, but it confuses me. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
