Hi,
I am using rsyslogd 8.4.4 in Ubuntu 14.04. I want my applications logs to
be in a separate log file(ex : /var/log/mylog.log).Before I used rsyslog 5v
on ubuntu 12.04 for the same purpose and it worked. I used the following
snippet with rsyslog 5v serve my purpose.Following are the lines in my
application that writes logs to syslog.
setlogmask (LOG_UPTO (LOG_NOTICE));
openlog ("thelog", LOG_CONS | LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_LOCAL1);
syslog (LOG_NOTICE, "thelog : started by User %d", getuid ()); closelog();
And the following lines in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf configuration file
local1.* -/var/log/thelog.log
Now the above method no longer works with new rsyslog 8.4v. I even
tried the following line
This should still work (although the - doesn't do anything). There must be
something else in your config that is causing the problem, or your messages
aren't being logged the way you think they are.
try writing a log with the format RSYSLOG_DebugFormat
/var/log/testlog;RSYSLOG_DebugFormat
and look for the logs from your app and see if they are being logged as local1
the way you think they are.
If the testlog doesn't show up, send us the rest of your config file, you may
be doing something like changing what user rsyslog runs as and that user doesn't
have permission to create files there.

if $syslogfacility-text == 'local1' then /var/log/mylog.log
Even this is not working. Can someone suggest me, how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ravi
