As for changing syslog tag field dynamically for every message --
unfortunately, the openlog(3) C-library function sets the program name
for all subsequent logging, so this means that connection to syslog
would have to be reopened and closed for each call to syslog(3)
function. I think there is no clean way to replace the program name
string temporarily with something else, so I will have to investigate
what would be the possible performance penalty of opening and closing
connection to syslogd for each logging attempt.
syslog is a very simple protocol, if the libc functions don't give you the
flexibility that you need, why not offer a plainer option?
all you really need to do is to open /dev/log and then write an
appropriatly formatted message. the only think that's at all 'hard' about
the message is setting the facility/severity number.

Subject: [Simple-evcorr-users] New feature requests
To: simple-evcorr-users@lists.sourceforge.net
Date: Sunday, October 24, 2010, 12:31 AM
I would like to get a new feature -
configuration file includes. I
would like to have an alternate method of specifying
configurations that
would load up @conffiles similar to multiple invocations of
-conf=file1.cfg -conf=file2.cfg. I don't know
if I want a new
configuration style, recycle from the current config
style. For me,
this is a housekeeping issue more than a performance
issue. I would
like to run one correlator for several services, keeping a
separate
config for each service. I have about a
half dozen discreet areas that
I monitor logs now. I expect that to grow in the
coming months.
type=include
desc=this is configuration file1
pattern=/home/sec/includes/file1.cfg
source=file1
type=include
desc=this is configuration file2
pattern=/home/sec/includes/file2.cfg
source=file2
A second new feature is the ability to specify the syslog
options. This
would allow me to write log events at varying priorities,
and allow me
to specify error numbers I would like tag similar to
'logger -t
<tag>'. I think I would like it to be an option
to logonly, and would
conceivably replace $progname in open_syslog()
Please advise,
Tim Peiffer
