Faked/Flexible Syslog
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This is a list of frequently asked questions and answers about OSSP fsl.
- I want fsl to forward to syslog. What is the minimum syslog configuration?
[A]
Prepare syslog.conf(5) and keep in mind it wants to see tabs not
spaces, they are marked the output manually to make that clear.
$ grep mail.info /etc/syslog.conf
mail.info TAB /var/log/maillog
- I want fsl to forward to syslog. How can i find out if syslog.conf(5) is correct?
[A]
$ logger -p mail.info "message"
$ tail /var/log/maillog
Mar 24 17:01:36 host user: message
- I want fsl to forward to syslog. Which l2spec logs to syslogd locally?
[A]
$ echo "from l2, loc" | fsl-l2tool 'syslog(facility=mail, ident=info, target="local")'
- I want fsl to forward to syslog. Which l2spec logs to syslogd remotely?
[A]
Make sure syslogd accepts network connections, see it's -s option
for syslogd(8) on FreeBSD, -r option for syslogd(8) on Linux or -t
for syslogd(1M) on Solaris. Also note that the l2spec requires a
certain order of the remotehost, remoteport an target
keywords, see CVS.
$ echo "from l2, net" | fsl-l2tool 'syslog(facility=mail,
ident=info,
remotehost="127.0.0.1",
remoteport="514",
target="remote"
)'
- I want fsl to forward to syslog. Which fsl config logs to syslogd remotely?
[A]
ident (ssh(d|-.+)?|scp|sftp(-server)?)/.+ q{
prefix(
prefix="%b %d %H:%M:%S %N <%L> $1[%P]: "
)
-> {
debug: file(
path="/usr/opkg/var/openssh/sshd.log",
append=1, perm=0644
);
debug: syslog(
facility=mail, ident=info,
remotehost="127.0.0.1", remoteport="514", target="remote"
)
}
};
ident (postfix/.+)/.+ q{
prefix(
prefix="%b %d %H:%M:%S %N <%L> $1[%P]: "
)
-> {
debug: syslog(
facility=mail,
ident=postfix,
remotehost="127.0.0.1",
remoteport="514",
target="remote"
)
}
};
- How can i find out if a statically linked program is using fsl?

If you do not have a what command use strings
$ strings /cw12/sbin/postfix | grep '@(#)OSSP fsl'
@(#)OSSP fsl 1.0.8 (13-Feb-2003)

OSSP fsl config cfgdir=/cw/etc/fsl prefix=fsl.
Starting with fsl 1.1.0 additional information about debugging options is visible
OSSP fsl debug logfile=/tmp/fsl/var/fsl/debuglogfile logmask=/tmp/fsl/var/fsl/debuglogmask
