Re: SYSLOG over the network

Hello everyone, Here's an initial implementation! There are two PRs: 1) RFC 5424 support in the syslog kernel driver: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/16493 2) syslogd application for transmitting RFC 5424 compatible messages over the network: https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps/pull/3090 I

Re: SYSLOG over the network

Taking a closer look at the RFC examples, it appears it's very plaintext-based, and messages could actually be constructed through the existing sprintf implementation with some modifications. The main drawback would be that if a user enabled both RFC5424 compatible messages and left out many of th

Re: SYSLOG over the network

Mainly my concern is that the current implementation of syslog (from my understanding reading the NuttX source code) is to `sprintf` the logs into the syslog stream that was configured (gleaned from `nx_vsyslog` in drivers/syslog/vslog.c). This has always worked since logs have only really been con

Re: SYSLOG over the network

Looks like having a central point to gather the information and construct them according to RFC then passing these to "sinks" that does the further processing i.e. output to text stream and/or output to network? You could then just enable/disable or add more sinks when necessary? Tomek On Sat, Ju

Re: SYSLOG over the network

It appears that a whole protocol description exists for syslog messages and the implementation of syslog "originators", "relays" and "collectors". It's RFC 5424 . I read through it today to see how i

Re: SYSLOG over the network

I like the idea of doing a syslogd implementation, since I agree that it would probably be simpler to implement in userspace. Looking even at the ramlog implementation, I'm not sure how using networking operations for something like a low-level `putc` would be achieved easily. I might read into net

Re: SYSLOG over the network

Two approach could achieve the goal: 1. Utilize ramlog and implement all network stuff in userspace, like syslogd(https://linux.die.net/man/8/syslogd). You can even implement the same protocol as syslogd, so PC tools can be reused directly. 2. Do all network stuff inside the kernel dir

SYSLOG over the network

Hello everyone, I was taking a look at the different syslog output options, and I noticed that there are a variety of different sinks (character devices, CDCACM, RAM, etc). However, I was thinking that it would be useful to have a network sink for syslog, so that logs could be sent over a networ
