I'm pretty sure that there is no way to set up the format without changing syslogd's code (which is probably not hard to do, BTW). But if you want to know the 'facility' you can trivially log into different files depending on the facility. This is want I do. In /etc/syslogconf: ----8<---------------------8<------------------------ # # We do not need to synch the logs after each line, not even # the kernel log, which logs a lot of stuff about iptables. Sure, # we may los stuff if a crash occurs, but we gain speed. # -> Prepend '-' before the file. See man syslog.conf # auth.* -/var/log/auth_log authpriv.* -/var/log/authpriv_log cron.* -/var/log/cron_log daemon.* -/var/log/daemon_log kern.* -/var/log/kern_log lpr.* -/var/log/lpr_log mail.* -/var/log/mail_log news.* -/var/log/news_log user.* -/var/log/user_log uucp.* -/var/log/uucp_log ftp.* -/var/log/ftp_log syslog.* -/var/log/syslog_log local0.* -/var/log/local0_log local1.* -/var/log/local1_log local2.* -/var/log/local2_log local3.* -/var/log/local3_log local4.* -/var/log/local4_log local5.* -/var/log/local5_log local6.* -/var/log/local6_log local7.* -/var/log/local7_log --On Friday, November 11, 2005 11:07 PM +0530 Nikhil <mnikhil.juno@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello Friends I have a syslogd , sucessfully implemented with -r option in a network. Currently all the messages that are being logged are in the below format <date> <machinename> <processname>[<pid>]: <message> Can I have some format where in the facility/priority is also mentioned so that I can see under what facility and priority the messages are being logged. may be like this: <date> <machinename> <facility.priority> <processname>[<pid>]: <message> Thanks, Nikhil
