I tried to setup the following in /etc/rsyslog.conf: local5.* /var/log/httpd/test_logger
To help debug I also have this: *.* /var/log/all.log;RSYSLOG_DebugFormat When I restart rsyslog, I can see this in my debug log: Debug line with all properties: FROMHOST: 'QLPRX51P', fromhost-ip: '127.0.0.1', HOSTNAME: 'QLPRX51P', PRI: 43, syslogtag 'rsyslogd:', programname: 'rsyslogd', APP-NAME: 'rsyslogd', PROCID: '-', MSGID: '-', TIMESTAMP: 'Sep 20 11:21:26', STRUCTURED-DATA: '-', msg: '/var/log/httpd/test_logger' escaped msg: '/var/log/httpd/test_logger' rawmsg: '/var/log/httpd/test_logger' I tried to log something in '/var/log/httpd/test_logger' with logger -p local5.debug -- test to log in httpd/test_logger but the content appear in /var/log/messages not in '/var/log/httpd/test_logger'. If I try to write in a directory other than /var/log/ it does not work. Someone has a clue on this?
