Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomcat5.5
The tomcat daemon syslog entries do not format well and are not easily
processed by tools like ossec.
The SYSLOG option is hard coded in /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5
Temporary work around:
Change
$DAEMON -user "$TOMCAT5_USER" -cp "$JSVC_CLASSPATH" \
-outfile SYSLOG -errfile SYSLOG \
-pidfile "$CATALINA_PID" $JAVA_OPTS "$BOOTSTRAP_CLASS"
to
$DAEMON -user "$TOMCAT5_USER" -cp "$JSVC_CLASSPATH" \
-outfile $CATALINA_BASE/logs/daemon.log -errfile
$CATALINA_BASE/logs/daemon-error.log \
-pidfile "$CATALINA_PID" $JAVA_OPTS "$BOOTSTRAP_CLASS"
A full solution would have support for date based log files and updates
to logrotate.
Ubuntu is Desktop 8.04 at the latest maintenance level.
dpkg-query -W tomcat5.5
