Hello everyone, I am seeking input. I am restructuring the code, and this means that I will also revisit the way error messages are generated on startup. Those errors happen very early in processing and the normal syslog message processing is not yet available when it is carried out. These messages are mostly about errors in the configuration file.
Rsyslog up to version 1.17.2 spits these messages to the terminal that is associated with stdin and the system console. For future releases, I think about sending them to the console, stderr and optionally a file specified on the command line. Also, I will stop sending a full syslog header and instead a canned format, most probably just consisting on a timestamp (is it needed) and the message itself. I am seeking feedback an what you would find the appropriate place to send such messages to and what format you would like to see. Comments are greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Rainer Gerhards _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog
