Would it be possible/easy to setup a ringbuffer log destination? Like dmesg under linux it would be very useful to me to have a ringbuffer log. On my laptop, for example, I don't often need more than the last 30-60 minutes of logs for fixing problems. And it'd make it more possible to have limited logs if we could do something in rsyslog like:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none ringbuffer(/var/log/messages, 8192) I was actually thinking about using an SD card or usb key as my 'hard drive' and I want to limit unnecessary writes. So, if I could log to /dev/shm and limit the total size of the logs via ringbuffer to 10M or 20M then I'd not eat up much memory and none of the writes would be to media with a limited write count. Would this be something you'd consider adding? Or maybe I've not looked hard enough and it's available now?
