syslog介绍

syslog分为客户端和服务端,它们通过/dev/log这个Unix域套接字通信。服务端通常是syslogd,有各种各样的syslogd,在ubuntu上使用的rsyslogd。libc通过openlog/syslog/closelog接口来写syslog。


       #include <syslog.h>

       void openlog(const char *ident, int option, int facility);
       void syslog(int priority, const char *format, ...);
       void closelog(void);



c代码例子:

$ cat syslog.c
#include <syslog.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        openlog("test", LOG_PERROR|LOG_PID, LOG_AUTH);
        syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s", argv[1]);
        closelog();
}


$ ./a.out 123

$ tail -f /var/log/auth.log

facility

有一些预定好的facility,它是用数字表示的。syslogd可能会把不同的facility生成到不同的文件。


       The facility argument is used to specify what type of program is logging the message.  This lets the configuration file specify that messages from different facilities will be  handled  differ‐
       ently.

       LOG_AUTH       security/authorization messages

       LOG_AUTHPRIV   security/authorization messages (private)

       LOG_CRON       clock daemon (cron and at)

       LOG_DAEMON     system daemons without separate facility value

       LOG_FTP        ftp daemon

       LOG_KERN       kernel messages (these can't be generated from user processes)

       LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7
                      reserved for local use

       LOG_LPR        line printer subsystem

       LOG_MAIL       mail subsystem

       LOG_NEWS       USENET news subsystem

       LOG_SYSLOG     messages generated internally by syslogd(8)

       LOG_USER (default)
                      generic user-level messages

       LOG_UUCP       UUCP subsystem
