Re: [Zope-dev] Syslog logger broken?
I could really use some help with this one.
Does anybody have:
A) an /etc/syslog.conf that definitely works
for logging messages from python's syslog logger?
B) a simple python script that exercises A?
I decided to check whether something was wrong with my syslog
configuration; i now suspect there may be, because
I have been unable to get anything into syslog via python at all.
Here is my non-working test script, derived from the example
in the python standard lib docs at
http://docs.python.org/lib/node301.html :
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('myapp')
hdlr = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s')
hdlr.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(hdlr)
logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)
logger.error('We have a problem')
logger.info('While this is just chatty')
And here is my attempt at logging everything to a new syslog file,
this is in /etc/syslog.conf:
# XXX
*.* -/var/log/pw_testing.log

[Zope-dev] Syslog logger broken?
Has anybody had success with the syslog logger in Zope 2.7.0 or later? AFAICT the example in zope.conf.in is borken.

Because Apache is often used in front of Zope, it's probably even better (quicker) to let Apache do the access logging and disable it entirely from Zope. bye, Jerome Alet ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

It may prove to be useful when you want to do remote logging: you send all to the local syslog which in fact forwards it to a remote syslog server. hth.

It is actually always used unless Zope is started read-only. Its not easy to
follow *how* this happens - and I am still not sure *why* its done this way.
As for the how:
ZLogger starts out with a from zLog import *,
it then sets up the list of standard logger
objects, and defines the log_write function.
Later, z2.py transplants the log_write function
from ZLogger into zLOG, where it is used by
the implementation of zLOG.LOG (the usual
logging API)
> Have you verified this by trying it?
Definitely yes - my syslog filled up with access log information.
A question for all syslog users; is it ever useful to send access logs to
syslog? (I can't think of good reason, but my syslog zen quotient is still
low). Is anyone else even using syslog?
Anyway, for anyone else interested, below a patch so that the configuration
of access-syslog uses different environment variables to event-syslog.

Re: [Zope-dev] syslog
I'll admit that I don't know. The ZLogger module makes some noise about syslog, but I dont even know if and when that module is used (as opposed to the zLOG module).

[Zope-dev] syslog
I am looking to configure my Zope to use syslog for the first time. I see that 2.4 uses the same environment variables to control whether syslog is used for access logs and event logs. This seems like a bad idea to me; the two log sources have completely different purposes, and I dont think it is possible to separate the two using syslog rules. Am I missing something?
