Hi, I have a program that needs a syslog-compatible logging system (i.e. C's openlog(), syslog(), and closelog() functions, or Python's syslog module need to work).
I have macos-10.14. If I do « logger -p auth.info 'Hi there' », I'd expect "Hi there" to appear in /var/log/system.log (or maybe somewhere else), but it's not showing up anywhere underneath /var/log. I haven't changed /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/asl.conf. The asl.conf includes includes: # Rules for /var/log/system.log > system.log mode=0640 format=bsd rotate=seq compress file_max=5M all_max=50M ? [= Sender kernel] file system.log ? [<= Level notice] file system.log ? [= Facility auth] [<= Level info] file system.log ? [= Facility authpriv] [<= Level info] file system.log So it looks like auth.info (and auth.err) messages should end up in system.log unless these files are red herrings. Does anyone known where auth.* logs end up? Or if they don't end up anywhere, is there a way to make them go somewhere? Thanks. cheers, raf
