"[Bug 820895] Re: Log File Viewer does not log Process Name" nick doc
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820895 Title: no way to log network connections and traffic of applications (processes) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: The kernel / netfilter is lacking the the ability to identify the local origin of network conection. (see comments) This lack was first reported against loging facilities, but tracked down to kernel disability. Please foreward / reassign to handle this as appropriate. original post: --- The gnome "Log File Viewer" does not log the Process Name (or Application Name) that generated the log item. For example, if an outbound internet connection is blocked and this event is logged, only the "ID" (i.e., PID) is shown in the report. But the PID is useless because it is ephemeral and does not live past the session. Users are left with no way to learn what Application or Process was responsible for generating the log item. The "Process Name" should be listed in log items instead of the PID.
