Hey,
having the services that need the syslog plugin depend on virtual/syslog does
not seem SO bad in the first place. Of course it would be better if InitNG
would keep those messages in the RAM until it can flush them to syslog, but
until that we could slightly modify the syslog plugin to be able to chose the
facility.
How do I get the arguments of an entry like "syslog = MAIL;"? Do I need to
create something like:
s_entry SYSLOG = { "syslog", STRING, NULL, "Description" };
and use
initng_service_data_type_register(&SYSLOG);
in int module_init(int api_version)?
Do I get the string then in static int syslog_fetch_output(s_event * event)
via event->data->name?
