I am trying to write different type of entries in separate log files from an application. For reason which I am trying to find out, all entries appear in all log files. What could I be doing wrong ?
I want only critical entries to go in /tmp/log/critical.log and debug entries to go into /tmp/log/debug.log file while all enteries can go into /tmp/log/all.log log file.
Following are entries in /etc/rsyslog.conf file
local0.* /tmp/log/all.log
local0.alert /tmp/log/alert.log
local0.crit /tmp/log/critical.log
local0.debug /tmp/log/debug.log
local0.emerg /tmp/log/emergency.log
local0.err /tmp/log/error.log
local0.info /tmp/log/info.log
local0.notice /tmp/log/notice.log
local0.warning /tmp/log/warning.log
My sample c program writing syslog entries...
#include<syslog.h>
main()
{
openlog("myapp",LOG_CONS|LOG_PID|LOG_NDELAY,LOG_LOCAL0);
syslog(LOG_EMERG|LOG_LOCAL0,"Emergency",getuid());
syslog(LOG_ALERT|LOG_LOCAL0,"Alert",getuid());
syslog(LOG_CRIT|LOG_LOCAL0,"Critical",getuid());
syslog(LOG_ERR|LOG_LOCAL0,"Error",getuid());
syslog(LOG_WARNING|LOG_LOCAL0,"Warning",getuid());
syslog(LOG_NOTICE|LOG_LOCAL0,"Notice",getuid());
syslog(LOG_INFO|LOG_LOCAL0,"Information",getuid());
syslog(LOG_DEBUG|LOG_LOCAL0,"Debug",getuid());
closelog();
}
