1 Hi,
2
3 I've been using metalog for a long time. I like its way of config where
4 you can set diff dirs for each service in an easy way:
5
6 Mail :
7
8 facility = "mail"
9 logdir = "/var/log/mail"
10
11 But its syntax is not "standard":
12
13 metalog:
14 Nov 10 12:30:00 [postfix/smtpd]
15
16 syslog-ng
17 Nov 10 12:58:10 afrodita postfix/pipe[27313]
18
19 and awstats does not read postfix logs correctly (neither pflogsumm.pl)
20
21 So, two questions:
22
23 1.-) Does anyone know how to change metalog syntax? I asked it to
24 metalog ML, two weeks ago, but I had no reply... Forums are
25 unmaintened...
26
27 2.-) What other log service do u recommend?
28
29 May I create diff dirs for each service with syslog-nd?
30
31 Thanks in advance.
