You can see the log messages in /var/log/syslog. You can configure the logging
further to create custom logs [1]
For no proposal, you should set CFG to 3
My config looks like the following
$ /etc/strongswan.d/charon-systemd.conf
charon-systemd {
filelog {
/var/log/strongswan.log {
time_format = %b %e %T
flush_line = yes
default = -1
cfg = 5
}
}
}
And don’t forget to handle log rotation
$ /etc/logrotate.d/strongswan
/var/log/strongswan.log
{
su root adm
rotate 4
daily
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
copytruncate
}
