---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Reporter: Technaton | Owner: Technaton
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: initng-0.7.0
Component: Feature Request on plugin | Version: initng-SVN
Severity: normal | Resolution:
Keywords: syslog |
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Description changed by ismaell:
Old description:
> InitNG already has a syslog plugin that fetches messages from stderr and
> injects them into syslog. However, in order to be usable to use Qmail
> from InitNG, there should be more features:
>
> * The plugin should take the logging facility as an argument.
> * It should store log messages in RAM until syslog comes available, and
> inject them then.
> * There should be a limit on how many log messages are stored.
> * Timestamps must be presevered.
> * As a nice feature, it could imitate Qmail's syslog utility, scanning
> the lines for "error" or "warning" keywords and setting the log level
> accordingly.

injects them into syslog. However, in order to be usable to use Qmail from
InitNG, there should be more features:
* The plugin should take the logging facility as an argument.
* It should store log messages in RAM until syslog comes available, and
inject them then.
* There should be a limit on how many log messages are stored.
* Timestamps must be presevered.
* As a nice feature, it could imitate Qmail's syslog utility, scanning
the lines for "error" or "warning" keywords and setting the log level
accordingly.
