I am a newbie and donīt unterstand the syslog_facility option: I have a SUSE 7.3 Linux I found a file /etc/syslog.conf I read the man syslog and man syslog.conf
I know there is the facitlity: auth, auth-priv,cron,daemon,kern,lpr,mail,mark,news,security,syslog,user uusp, local0 through local7 I know there is the priority: debug,info,notice,warning,warn,error,crit,alert,panic I know there is the mon.conf: syslog_facility = daemon (default) Or there is the parameter -0 facility /usr/local/mon/mon -O facility I look at the perl code and find Hardcoded following commands: syslog('info', "client command \"$l\"") .... info = priority ?! My cgi-script with the mon-client command makes many queries (html refresh=5); On the remote server, there are many mon entries in the /var/log/messages ... e.g. Jan 15 13:29:35 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34029 Jan 15 13:29:35 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:29:35 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list failures" Jan 15 13:29:35 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34030 Jan 15 13:29:36 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:29:36 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list disabled" Jan 15 13:29:36 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34031 Jan 15 13:29:37 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:29:37 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list disabled" Jan 15 13:29:37 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34032 Jan 15 13:29:38 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:29:38 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list disabled" Jan 15 13:34:38 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34061 Jan 15 13:34:38 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:34:38 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list failures" Jan 15 13:34:38 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34062 Jan 15 13:34:39 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:34:39 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list disabled" Jan 15 13:34:39 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34063 Jan 15 13:34:40 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:34:40 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list disabled" Jan 15 13:34:40 pc426 mon[20686]: client connection from 172.20.12.216:34064 Jan 15 13:34:41 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "protid 9745" Jan 15 13:34:41 pc426 mon[20686]: client command "list disabled" How can I disable this many info mon messages in the /var/log/messages file Can I use the syslog_facility for my problem ?
